Third Grade
Third grade Science is taught by Mrs Schellenger, 2 days a week to total 1hr 40 minutes of Instruction.
The 3rd graders study about Life Science and The Human Body to include health and nutrition.
Earth Science and Physical Science are also covered.
The following are the units of study in theses strands:
How Plants live and Grow
How Animals Live, Grow and Change
Living Things and Their Environments
Changing Environments
Matter and How it Changes
Forces
Simple Machines and Work
Energy in Our World
All About the Earth's Surface
Materials of the Earth
The Sun, Planets and Moons
Clouds and Weather
Fourth Grade
Fourth graders continue their exploration of the world of Science through the study of Physical Science, Earth Science, Life Science and the Human Body to include Health and Nutrition. The Science Lab is utilized as we conduct experiments and observe demonstrations. During our 1 hr 40 min that is allocated per week we cover the following topics: Earth Science-The Rock Cycle and How Earth is shaped and changed by Natures forces. Life Science-All Organisms need energy and matter to live and grow, That living organisms depend on one another and their environments for survival. We study about the Human Body during our study of life science and how to keep a healthy body and body systems (Health & Nutrition) Life Science includes: Plant structure and functionAnimal Structure and functionEnergy in ecosystemsSurviving in the environmentPhysical Science covers Matter, Electricity & Magnetism, Light & Sound, and Forces & Motion. Investigation and Experimentation aids us in our study of these strands.
Fifth Grade
The 2 hrs a week of Science instruction for 5th graders consists of experimentation, demonstrations, hands on investigations, videos, Science projects and reports.
During our study of Life Science some of the areas we study are as follows:
Comparing living things-- to include the Animal Kingdom, Plant Kingdom, Fungus Kingdom, and the Protist and Moneran Kingdoms. Adaptations and Ecology. Fifth grade students learn about some of the structures that plants and animals have for respiration, digestion, waste disposal and transport of materials. (Human body, health and Nutrition). Our study of Physical Science includes some of the following, Classifying matter, to include Elements and the periodic table of the elements. Motion & Forms of Energy. The Earth Science unit of study includes these topics: The Changing Earth, Earth's Resources, Climate, and Astronomy.
