SCIENCE
Students in fifth grade will embark on new science standards with a strong emphasis on technology and engineering. Science instruction includes analyzing research, making claims, and providing reasoning. In addition to reading and writing, students participate in collaborative learning through labs and hands-on projects. Field trips enhance science learning by allowing students to encounter phenomena in our world.
