In 5th Grade, students will:

-Discover food energy from the Sun, plant requirements (air and water), environmental matter cycling, Earth's sphere interactions, water availability/distribution, and protecting Earth's resources and environment.

-Study Earth's gravitational force, stellar brightness/distance, and daily/seasonal sky changes.

Nature's Café

(Indoor Program)

Next Generation Science Standards:

5-PS3-1. Use models to describe that energy in animals’ food (used for body repair, growth, motion, and to maintain body warmth) was once energy from the Sun.

5-LS2-1. Develop a model to describe the movement of matter among plants (producers), animals (consumers), decomposers, and the environment.

Starlab

(Indoor Program)

Description:

Learning about science through our inflatable, portable planetarium will bring plenty of “oohs” and “ahs.” More than that, it will inspire your students to engage in a better understanding of the world around them.

In the dome, you can travel through a world of knowledge that includes astronomy, geology, physical geography, and more. With StarLab, educators can be confident the curriculum meets current Next Generation Science Standards.

Nature Walk

(Outdoor Program)

Description:

Students will get a chance to experience an outdoor space to notice nature and increase observation skills. They will be presented with an opportunity and task to identify various items in nature and make connections with the environment that surrounds them.
