• What's Going On in Science?

    1st Quarter we will focus on...
    • Scientific Method - What is the scientific method, and how can we apply it to science inquiry?
    • Heat Transfer: conduction, convection, & radiation are the 3 types of heat transfer, the difference between conductors & insulators.
    • Matter: 3 states of matter (solid, liquid, & gas), how different materials react to heating and cooling, the difference between physical changes and chemical changes, sum of parts equaling the whole, qualitative vs. quantitative data, stages of the water cycle (and how the Sun DRIVES every stage).

    ​It is imperative that your child STUDY THEIR NOTES NIGHTLY - it will greatly help them succeed this year in 5th Grade Science!!! Students are taking note DAILY. THE vocabulary is VERY IMPORTANT and should be practiced at home!


    This will be the first year that your child will be taking the SCIENCE EOG and it will be challenging, but I guarantee that they will be prepared if they put in the effort and study!  Your child will be taking the SCIENCE EOG on the COMPUTER. 


    ​Parents, please encourage your students to go back and review ALL of their notes from Science throughout the year - it is better to do that now than wait until right before the EOGs!!
