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

Unit 4 - Adventures of Don Quixote

This unit exposes students to the timeless aspects of this classic work, such as the relationship between Don Quixote and his sidekick, Sancho Panza.

Students will trace the development of plot, characters, and literary elements over the course of the novel. They will also read excerpts from an adapted version of Adventures of Don Quixote, which will enable them to compare and contrast the two texts used in the unit. The writing lessons provide multiple opportunities for peer collaboration. Students will regularly engage in written responses to the texts they are reading and will work on writing a persuasive essay.
