My Project
Our 5th grade students will spend the year exploring Chemical Reactions, Ecosystems, Food Webs, Stars, the Solar System and the Water Cycle.
The goal of this project overall is to provide our students with hands-on Science opportunities, which will foster engagement and a longer term understanding of the 5th grade content.
Our students will use these materials to engage in a plethora of real world situations. In one unit, students will create and use a model of the ocean and sky to investigate how temperature influences evaporation and condensation. In another unit, students will conduct an investigation to test how mold grows under different conditions to decompose food. Students will realize that decomposers, like mold, break down and consume dead plant material.
It is our hope that these hands-on opportunities will increase student engagement in the Science curriculum and foster a lifelong love of Science.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
