![]() Mrs. Chilelli's Homepage 6th Grade Science - Titan Team Welcome to Mrs. Chilelli's homepage. I joined the staff at China Grove Middle School three years ago, and have thoroughly enjoyed teaching in this close-knit community. With over 30 years of experience in education, I have worked half of my career teaching middle school science and the other half working as an Educational Programs Manager in the U. S. Space Program at Johnson Space Center in Houston, TX. Six years ago, my husband and I decided to leave Texas and move to North Carolina. We enjoy the changing seasons, the community, and the friendly people. I have recently changed grade levels, and am now teaching 6th grade science on the Titans Team. This year we will study energy as it relates to heat, sound, light, and ecosystems. We will also study how matter cycles through various systems, how science and technology are related, minerals, rock cycles, weathering, and components of the solar system. E-mail Please feel free to send an e-mail to me at chilellilb@rss.k12.nc.us concerning your child. Scheduling Conferences To schedule a conference, please call the school's Guidance Office and Mrs. Pinyan will help you. We schedule conferences as a team. Agendas Parents - please check and sign your child's agenda each evening. This allows you to see what he/she has for homework and any notes a teacher may have written. ********************** Students need to bring their Science Journal (composition book) with them every day. They will write in this each day. February - We have recently begun studying about rocks and minerals. Students will have an opportunity to test various minerals to determine their physical properties. Students will also be expected to memorize the "8 steps to identifying minerals" and the 10 minerals in "Moh's Scale of Hardness". Students are also working in groups learning to identify various sedimentary, igneous, and metamorphic rocks.
