Grade 6 PSAC science practice — air, energy, plants, animals, and the ecosystems of Mauritius and its lagoons.
10 chapters
550+ questions
Aligned with the MIE curriculum
Grade 6 science is where a child is first asked to explain rather than name. Knowing that plants need light is Grade 4 work; accounting for what happens to a lagoon when one part of its food web is removed is Grade 6 work, and it cannot be answered by recall.
Much of the syllabus is deliberately local. Forest and lagoon ecosystems, conservation, and the hazards that arrive with a Mauritian cyclone season are not generic science topics — they are the ones a child can walk outside and look at.

How it is practised
Diagrams are drawn as inline SVG wherever possible, so they cannot 404, they work offline, and their contents are known exactly.
Alt text never names the answer — a labelled diagram that says what it is proving would answer the question for the child.
Bonus chapters go past the syllabus into food webs and the solar system, marked as extra so nobody mistakes them for examinable material.
