The science core has changed this year. Fifth grade curriculum is being implemented slowly since it is state tested at the end of the year. Anticipate that your child will study matter, electricity, magnets, land forms, and heredity this year.
The Scientific Method is the process in which we study science. We will be using this method throughout the year to guide students recognize that every experiment they perform has a question that fuels it; that they try, try again until they are successful, and learn from every experiment they perform.
