Science

5th Grade Science

Your student will be making a diorama this bundle, I will provide the box, and students will provide all other supplies.

Human Impact on the Earth's Systems

Earth's Systems Interactions
Water Sources
Reducing the Human Footprint

These science and engineering practices support this scope.

1. Developing and using models.

2. Obtaining, evaluating, and communicating evidence.

3. Analyzing and interpreting data.

● Earth’s major systems (geosphere, biosphere, hydrosphere, and atmosphere) interact with each other.

● Most of Earth’s available water is in the ocean, and most of Earth’s fresh water is frozen in glaciers and ice caps.

● People can use information about Earth’s systems and water to protect Earth’s resources and environments.

ELA

Unit 7 - Midsummer Night's Dream

A Midsummer Night’s Dream unit is an immersive quest that treats Shakespeare's comedy as both literature and a living text for interpretation and performance. The students will read, write, act, direct, design, and watch scenes from this historic play. Students will engage in close reading, creative writing, and theater activities to enhance their understanding of the play and engage their imaginations. O’ the merriment to be had during the class of ELA will be festive for all.
