- In Science we use the Next Generation Science Standards as our guide. We also have a textbook, Exploring Science published by National Geographic. In addition we have access to Mystery Science, Stemscopes and BrainPop.
- All our investigations and notes are kept in our Interactive Science Notebooks.
- Engineering: Develop and compare multiple methods of encoding information. Evaluate, test and redesign a design feature of a prototype.
- Physical Science: Use evidence to explain the relationship between speed and energy. Identify forms of energy and how energy moves and transfers.Develop a model of a wave.Develop a model to explain how light makes objects visible.
- Life science: Explain how internal and external structures aid in survival.
- Earth Science: Analyze and interpret maps to understand geologic patterns.Use evidence to explain the role of weathering and erosion. Compare renewable and nonrenewable energy. Evaluate man-made solutions to reduce the impact of natural disasters.
