5th Grade
In the first nine weeks of school, Fifth Grade students will review Science Lab Rules and Safety and how to practice working in groups to build and solve challenges. Students will model basic plate tectonics and make connections between plate tectonics and surface features of the Earth. Students will apply what they know about earthquakes to build a structure that could withstand one. Students will next demonstrate how erosion affects different types of land forms. They will examine the differences in dams and levees and use what they know about dams to construct an operational dam.
