In 5th Grade science we will be conducting experiments and explorations related to the question, "What is the world made of?".

We will begin our studies by examining the earth and its position in the solar system. What causes the seasons? Why can earth sustain life?

Next, we will move from studying earth in space to studying the actual composition of the our planet. This study will begin with an examination of the planet from its core to its crust. We will study topics such as rocks, minerals, soil, and earth's waters.

Finally, we will conduct explorations about some of earth's living inhabitants: plants & humans. The plant studies will fucus on how plants propogate and survive in earth's various habitats. Our studies on the human race will focus on the anatomy of bones and muscles.
