Dr. Hill's 5th Grade Science

Course Description

Life Science

Students learn about energy flow in food webs, including the roles of the sun, producers, consumers and decomposers in the energy cycle. They will model a food web and create diagrams of food webs using their own drawings and/or images to create one pagers, portable word walls and other products. Also, students will investigate the links between the sun, plants and animals, building their understanding of the web of nutrient dependency and energy transfer. Many assignments can be completed on StemScopes. The first StemScopes assignments (Food Web)-Reading and Comprehension Quiz, Writing, Post Assessment, and Math Connection.

Preparing a science fair project is an excellent example of what education experts call active learning or inquiry (also "hands-on" learning). It is a very effective instructional method and it is recommended as a cornerstone of successful science teaching. Camille did an excellent job constructing the science project called the "Skittle Melt Down."

Participating in science fair projects helps develop a feeling of confidence and competence among students, and fosters a spirit of scientific inquiry. Science fairs are also a way for students to demonstrate motivation, self-learning, critical thinking, ethics and other important skills and traits. 
Anchor charts are used to help you understand what you will learn and know by the end of the lesson. Create your own anchor chart in your INB, spiral notebook, or on a sheet of loose leaf paper.
