We use the TWIG science curriculum which is aligned with the Next Generation Science Standards. Here are the 4 units that we will be focusing on that cover many different topics:

Unit 1: Matter Mysteries Hotline - Properties of Matter

Unit 2: Yellowstone Uncovered - Matter and Energy in Organisms and Ecosystems

Unit 3: H2O Response Teams - Earth's Systems

Unit 4: Galactic Guidebook - Space Systems

Students will be conducting several hands-on "investigations" this year. They will utilize the TWIG website to record their research and findings, which will always be accessible to students directly via Google Classroom. Students will write Claim, Evidence, Reasoning (CER) Reports to show their knowledge of the topics.
