Science
Fifth grade next-generation science standards have 4 big ideas\, which become our units of study (listed below). Throughout the year students will gain knowledge and understanding of these topics through the utilization of scientific processes. These processes include inquiry, data collection and analysis, and reflection. Non-fiction text, demonstrations, and hands-on activities support the science curriculum. The following units are covered in fifth grade:
- Space
- Engineering (We will be exploring Engineering through the use of Project Lead the Way's Robotics and Automation curriculum)
- Matter in the Ecosystem
- Earth's Systems
