Welcome to our 5th grade science and social studies website.

​​A journey of curiosity, deeper academic understanding, and middle school preparation awaits us!

​

We have completed our first health unit entitled, Safety is No Accident. Students learned four important components of being safe in our science classroom: personal preparation, smart lab behaviors, tool safety, and emergency procedures; emphasizing and impacting personal responsibility for our future science labs. We took our assessment on Friday, August 28th. 

​

If your child is not satisfied with this or any first sememter's test's overall score, this can be rectified quite simply. Ask the homeroom teacher for permission to retake it once more during WIN time; or any other time availble during the school day.

​

In our first science unit, entitled Web of Life, students will explore how consumers, producers, and decomposers each play an important role in ecosystems. They will build models of food chains and food webs to investigate how matter and energy flow through these systems. Students will discover that matter continuously cycles between non-living and living components of the environment and consider ways that we can protect those environments.

​

Students will demonstrate what they have learned while completing our Web of Life unit on Wednesday, September 23rd, when they take their first science assessment.
