To view unit slides students must be logged in to their fmsd google account. In 5th grade students also have access to email the teacher as well as message through Google Classroom. If students have questions I highly encourage utilizing these communication tools.
SLIDES for the Unit and/or materials are located in student's Google Classroom or in McGraw Hill Online Science Textbook
