SCIENCE GRADE 5: August 30 - September 10th

Welcome Grade 5 students and parents! This nine weeks we will be learning about weather: the water cycle, air pressure, clouds, wind, air masses, fronts, climate, and hurricanes. We are currently learning about the water cycle and will most likely have a test this Friday. Before each test, students receive a review sheet and have two days to study for the test. I teach them various study skills and give them time to practice these skills in class. The week of September 6-10 we will study air pressure. Students will have an opportunity to study air pressure through two experiments, and then will be a meterologist and read the barometer to determine atmospheric pressure.

I look forward to working with you. Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have questions or comments.
