Science 5 brings science alive by providing students a combination of virtual lab investigations (with options for hand-on learning), interactive lessons, and an array of e-books that capture students’ attention and grow their interest in science. Students engage in science and engineering practices as they explore topics such as matter, organisms, ecosystems, the earth’s systems, and the earth’s place in the universe. Throughout the course, students conduct investigations using digital tools and simulations. Some labs also include alternative investigations that use household materials.
This course calls for the following household materials, though they are optional, since digital versions of all labs are available:
Science Notebook (required)
pencil or pen (required)
4 tablespoons salt (optional)
2 tablespoons baking soda (optional)
2 tablespoons flour (optional)
water (optional)
spoon (optional)
6 plastic cups (optional)
1/4 cup (optional)
1 tablespoon (optional)
vinegar (optional)
marker or pen (optional)
1-2 ice cubes (optional)
black paper (optional)
1 tablespoon powdered drink mix or sugar (optional)
butter knife (optional)
2 shallow bowls (optional)
1 package celery stalk, lettuce or bok choy
1 cup soil (optional)
5-6 drops food coloring (optional)
3 plastic plates (optional)
1 balloon (optional)
1 tablespoon black pepper (optional)
notebook paper (optional)
*Students may also keep a digital Science Notebook.
The Earth science curriculum builds on the natural curiosity of students. By connecting them to the beauty of geological
history, the amazing landforms around the globe, the nature of the sea and air, and the newest discoveries about our
universe, the curriculum gives students an opportunity to relate to their everyday world. Students will explore
topics such as the fundamentals of geology, oceanography, meteorology, and astronomy; Earth’s minerals and rocks;
Earth’s interior; plate tectonics, earthquakes, volcanoes, and the movements of continents; geology and the fossil record;
the oceans and the atmosphere; and the solar system and the universe.
