In civics and government, students examine the foundational principles of the U.S. Constitution and how they influence the American political system. Activities include reading and interpreting the Bill of Rights, with tasks that guide students to summarize each amendment in their own words—building a deeper understanding of individual rights and freedoms. Sixth grade economics worksheets introduce students to traditional, market, command, and mixed economic systems. Learners analyze the role of government in each system and apply concepts like opportunity cost and trade-offs to real-life scenarios, connecting classroom content to practical decision-making. Geography lessons guide students through an exploration of the three colonial regions of early America: New England, the Middle Colonies, and the Southern Colonies. Worksheets focus on map analysis, comparing regional characteristics, and drawing creative conclusions to reinforce spatial awareness and regional understanding. U.S. history resources cover topics such as the Industrial Revolution and the Civil War. Students research key inventors, explore 19th-century innovations, and investigate the causes and effects of the Civil War through primary and secondary sources. World history activities introduce learners to global events such as the War of 1812, the bubonic plague, and the Roman Republic.
