Science is literally a blast (there may be some pyrotechnics) in 5th grade. We will become detectives as we use the scientific method to discover the why of many things. Fifth grade science is very hands on and fun for all. We will find out why we have certain traits, what makes up a chemical and physical change, what makes a landform, how electricity works, why magnets attract and repel and much more.
Social Studies in fifth grade takes us on a journey across America from the time of the Pilgrims to the day we are living in now. We have a monthly grade level activity that will give us a glimpse of what it would be like to be a part of some of the greatest events in American History. At the end of the year we get to take part in the amazing Hope of America. We also get the opportunity to become our favorite American Hero in the Wax Museum.
