Science topics - Keep a look out!

A new calendar year brings new topics for Science for both Grades 5 and 6. The topics for the two grades align slightly and will allow us to crossover some of our learning.

The Grade 5s will explore Structures and Forces Acting on Structures. This will include structures that

students see and/or use daily, like chairs and decks, as well as much larger and very interesting structures like bridges and sky scrapers. There are some pretty fun online labs to work through as well as structure-building activities and challenges.

The Grade 6s will conduct a number of experiments to help them build a greater understanding of Flight. For this unit, we will also require some materials from home in order to conduct experiments, so please look for requests for items. Thank you in advance for your cooperation.

For all students, pay attention to the world around you and bring back to school and share observations relating to our topics of study in Science. If you see something cool or interesting on TV or online, let us know so we can all have a chance to view and discuss. Great resources to support our Science learning can also be added to the website for all to use.
