Welcome to Fifth Grade Science!
The fifth grade science curriculum is basically a survey of three branches of science students will study in middle school: life science, earth science, and physical science. The resources located under the science pages support work that we do in class. We follow the GCPS AKS for fifth grade science and also extend into the middle school AKS in Accelerated Science. Students explore scientific concepts in hands-on lab experiences. Wireless lab applications include interactive webquests and websites, research, and interactive reviews. Our High Touch High Tech and Rock Eagle field trips directly support the science curriculum. During the third nine weeks, students learn about scientific investigations as they participate in the school science fair. We hope you learn to LOVE science this year!
