Science

5th Grade Science

Matter and Energy Flow in an Ecosystem

Matter and Energy in Plants

These science and engineering practices support this scope.

1. Developing and using models.

2. Engaging in argument from evidence.

● Plants get the material needed for growth primarily from air and water.

● Plants can grow without soil.

● Matter moves between the air and soil and among plants, animals, and decomposers that release waste matter back into the environment.

● Organisms survive and thrive in environments that meet their needs.

● How does the matter cycle within an ecosystem?

ELA

We kicked off our Renaissance unit with Mona Yates drawing exercise!!! Check out these photos of the kids drawing Mona Yates from different perspectives around the room.

Unit 5 - Renaissance

This unit provides students with a broad exposure to the art and literature of the Renaissance. Looking at artists, Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo, Van Eyck, Raphael, Donatello, Brunelleschi, Botticelli, Machiavelli, Cervantes, and Shakespeare. Students learn that the Renaissance was a cultural movement that began in Italy and swept through Europe. During this time, trade increased between European countries that led to wealth, power, and influence of the middle class, which allowed merchants and businessmen to support artists as their patrons.
