Science, Technology, and Society gives Grade 6 Social Studies students focused practice on how scientific knowledge and technological advances can change production, communication, transportation, communities, and daily life. Framed around the TEKS framework named in the resource, this worksheet connects scientific and infrastructure changes to economic growth and social change.

From Scientific Knowledge to System Change

Students examine how new scientific knowledge can improve production methods over time and how advances in communication and transportation increase connections between communities. The resource also asks students to use evidence from a passage to support claims about economic growth and changes in daily life.

Students encounter multiple-choice questions, true/false statements, short-answer responses, a dialogue, matching, a cloze passage, a labeled diagram, a reading passage, and an essay. These tasks give students opportunities to identify key ideas, connect developments to their effects, and support claims with evidence from the provided reading.

What Teachers Receive

• Student worksheet: Practice covering scientific knowledge, production methods, communication advances, transportation advances, community connections, economic growth, daily life changes, and industrial and infrastructure terminology.
• Separate Teacher Guide PDF: Includes learning objectives, teaching tips, discussion questions, and common mistakes.

Useful for Social Studies Instruction

This Grade 6 resource can be used during a science, technology, and society lesson, as guided classroom practice, for independent work, or as a review activity. The reading and evidence-based tasks also give teachers an opportunity to discuss how changes in technology can affect economic activity and everyday experiences.

Key Concepts Students Connect

The worksheet links several related ideas rather than treating technological change as an isolated topic. Students consider how scientific knowledge can influence production, how communication and transportation can strengthen connections between communities, and how those developments relate to economic growth and changes in daily life.

A matching activity reinforces terms connected to industrial and infrastructure changes, while the reading-based tasks require students to draw evidence from a passage when making claims. The teacher guide adds instructional support through objectives, teaching tips, discussion prompts, and common-mistake guidance.
