Free interactive simulations and games for 6th grade science. Each one teaches a big idea by letting students experiment or play, checks understanding along the way, and ends with proof of learning. Everything is NGSS-aligned and runs in any browser with no login.
Practice reading 15 science graphs and data tables, from bar graphs to climate graphs, with new numbers every time. Miss one and get walked through it step by step.
New 6th grade simulations and games are added throughout the school year.
In many middle schools, 6th grade science focuses on Earth and space science, weather and climate, and ecosystems, often alongside topics in physical and life science. It is also the year students start working like scientists: planning investigations, collecting data, and reading graphs and data tables to find patterns. Those data skills come up in every science unit and on state science tests.
Simulations work like virtual labs and practice sessions: students try something, get instant feedback and step-by-step help, and finish with something dated they can screenshot and submit.
