Fifth Grade Science Outline

Period 3: Monday-Friday



This year the fifth grade science class will be exploring the exciting world of physical science. We will use the purple science textbooks by Scott Foresman, which will be assigned to each student at the beginning of the year. It is the student’s responsibility to cover the textbook and protect it from becoming damaged. If students are absent from class, there will be a pink bin in the classroom where missed work can be picked up.

The students are to bring the textbook to class everyday unless otherwise noted.

Here is a brief overview of the topics we will be studying:

  1. States of Matter – chemical and physical properties
  2. Force and Motion
  3. Light and Sound
  4. Electricity and Magnetism

Be sure to check “Track My Grades” for current and future assignments as well as your student’s progress.
