Thompson Brook Science Curriculum (Grade 5)
This
sequence or even some units are subject to change throughout the year.
Connecticut started CMT testing in grades 5 and 8 just two years ago so
as more information becomes available from the state things may have to
be tweaked. In addition to learning science in our
own classroom, students will go to the science lab twice a week for lab
activities related to this curriculum.
(The units listed below will be modified for 2009-2010 - just waiting on the final word)
Sound
Lenses and Light
Rocks and Minerals
Forces and Simple Machines
Scientific Method
Living Things
