We will use Stemscopes for our science curriculum. Topics will be as follows: Trimester 1-Interdependent Relationships in Ecosystems Trimester 2-Earth’s Systems: Processes that Shape the Earth Trimester 3-Structures and Properties of Matter
Students will follow the 5-E model: Engage, Explore, Explain, Elaborate, and Evaluate. These topics will include hands-on lessons and activities that the children just love! While they perform experiments, they will be making observations, asking questions, making a hypothesis, planning and doing a test, recording what happens, and finally drawing conclusions. The activities planned are a great way to build enthusiastic learners!!

We will be using literature, creating projects, and using our textbook to help assist students to reach the standards. Some assessments will be project based requiring students to use 21st century skills. -Trimester 1-Citizenship: Rights and Responsibilities(Voting and Elections), Jobs, Goods and Services -Trimester 2-Communities,Trade, Maps, Landforms -Trimester 3-Early American History, Famous Americans, American Symbols
