5th Grade Science B

Grade 5 science builds on prior understanding of scientific topics to support increasingly sophisticated learning. Students will investigate matter; energy and matter in ecosystems; modeling Earth’s systems; protecting Earth’s resources; and astronomy. Students will develop and use scientific practices that give them firsthand experience in scientific inquiry, engineering, and technology. Students will also have the opportunity to use problem-based learning to develop and present solutions based on learning, and, ideally, interact with their community. Throughout the course, scientific learning is connected to concepts across various disciplines, such as mathematics and literacy.
