Science
Fifth grade science rocks!  

There are three major areas of study this year in science. These are:

1. Living Systems
2. Mixtures & Solutions
3. Earth and Sun

We will begin our year by investigating Living Systems. In this unit we'll be learning and thinking about systems on a different scale - nutrient and transport systems within an organism that moves matter and provides energy to the individual organism, and feeding relationships in ecosystems that move matter among plants, animals, decomposers, and the environment.

Next, we will learn all about Mixtures and Solutions.  We will be looking at saturation points of liquids and liquid concentrations.  We will also learn the difference between mixtures and solutions.  

We will follow this unit of study with an investigation of the Earth and Sun.  This unit provides students with experiences to explore the properties of atmosphere, energy transfer from the Sun to Earth, and the dynamics of weather and water cycling in Earth's atmosphere.     

We will have a multitude of hands on exploration and wonderful science discoveries this year!
