What is going to happen in Science?
This year in fifth grade Science, we will be exploring many different topics. We will be piloting some of the Next Generation Science Standards. We are going to start where we all started... cells and living traits. From there, we will be going on to water and electricity. Our next unit will be matter and energy. The periodic table will be gone over along with mass, volume, and density. Finally, we will finish the year off with plants.
Social Studies
In Social Studies, we are learning about family timelines, explorers, and colonies. Next, our focus will be the Revolutionary War followed by the Civil War. These will be taught using simulations.
