Discover! Social Studies 6
How did the world's earliest civilizations develop? What ideas, beliefs, and innovations shaped history? And how do ancient societies continue to influence life today? Discover! Social Studies 6 helps students explore these questions through a rich study of the ancient world.
This full-year homeschool curriculum examines the history, geography, cultures, governments, and economies of ancient Egypt, Israel, India, and China. Through colorful student worktexts, your child will investigate the people, events, ideas, and achievements that helped shape some of the world's most influential civilizations.
Lessons combine reading, vocabulary development, writing activities, discussion, and hands-on projects to help students move beyond memorizing facts and develop a deeper understanding of historical events and cultural developments. As your child works through the course, he'll learn to identify cause-and-effect relationships, compare civilizations, and make meaningful connections between the ancient world and the present day.
The accompanying Instructor Guide provides lesson support, answer keys, teaching suggestions, and assessments. Together, the worktexts and guide create an open-and-go program that is easy to implement while still providing meaningful social studies instruction.
Designed specifically for homeschool families, Discover! Social Studies 6 combines world history, geography, civics, economics, reading, and writing to help your child develop a broader understanding of the civilizations that laid the foundations for much of today's world.
How to Use Discover! Social Studies
- Discover! Social Studies is designed as a full-year curriculum. We suggest completing two lessons each week, or one lesson and one review, to comfortably finish the course during a typical academic year.
- Each lesson combines reading, discussion, and written activities to help your child engage with new ideas and connect with the world around him. Encourage him to explain concepts in his own words, share observations, and discuss how the topics relate to everyday life.
- Use the Instructor Guide as your primary teaching resource. It provides lesson support, answer keys, teaching suggestions, and ideas for adapting lessons to different learning styles.
- Whenever possible, connect the lessons to real-life experiences. Conversations about communities, geography, cultures, government, economics, or historical events often become more meaningful when children can see how those ideas apply beyond the page.
- Don't feel pressured to rush through the material. Social studies is often best learned through discussion, reflection, and making connections. If a topic sparks extra interest, take time to explore it further before moving on.
By the end of the course, your child will have developed a stronger understanding of people, places, communities, and cultures while building the critical-thinking and communication skills that support lifelong learning.

Read the Review“What makes Discover! Social Studies Grade 6 shine is how it strikes a balance between content and creativity. It’s not fluff, but it’s not overwhelming either. My kids are learning to think critically, connect cultures, and see history as a living story rather than a dead subject.” Read the Review.

This is my second year using this curriculum and I like it so far. We do two lessons a week and split the lessons up over four days. I like how there are optional art projects and online research suggestions.
