Stars & Planets
In this unit, students explore our solar system! They investigate how bright the Sun appears from each planet in our solar system in addition to stars of other solar systems in galaxies far away. They also investigate gravity on Earth and gravity on other planets to discover patterns of this incredible force.
Water Cycle & Earth's Systems
In this unit, students consider the profound importance of water as a natural resource. Students investigate the distribution of water, how it cycles through Earth’s systems, and explore how it affects human societies.
Chemical Reaction & The Properties of Matter
This unit helps students develop the concepts of "substances" and "chemical reactions." Students see that chemical reactions enable us to make new materials by transforming the ones we have. The results of these reactions are interesting and sometimes profoundly useful.
