Welcome to the 5th Grade Science Galaxy Wiki.... We are ALL scientists!! The science units we will be pulling things from for 2016-2017 are:

Communicating Scientifically--**we are using this unit right now!** Matter Unit-- Forces and Energy Unit Space Unit-- Earth Science Unit Life Science-- STAAR review Health and Human Body

Click on one of the tabs on the left to visit the unit that you choose.

**Some website resources we will use all year in class and at home:** This document covers every concept studied in 5th grade science. It is a great review of all of our science concepts.

[|Interactives--Everything Science!]

[|Quizlet] Quizlet is an interactive website that allows students to review information through flashcards. There are four methods of review in the program. Students can even create their own set for others to use. When on the site, search the groups "Wilmeth 5th grade Scientists" and "Grahamslamteam" to find sets that are already made.

[|Kahoot] Kahoot is an interactive online game that can be played in small groups or as a whole class. Once you get on the site, enter the game code to start playing with the class. You can also design your own multiple choice game by creating an account and logging in as a user.

[|Edmodo] Edmodo is a private site for students and teachers to communicate back and forth. Homework, web links, pictures, and other important information can be posted to Edmodo for students to use. I usually post a "Question of the Week" that I want all students to answer!!! 5th Grade Scientists can even post their "Science in the News" to Edmodo!!!

For the following sites, students use the special login and password on their student login information card in the front pocket of the 5th grade folder. These sites are links to online readers, videos, and other interactive pieces.
 * Fusion Science Text: as soon as we get our update for 2015 we will attach the link!

Are you looking for a chance to go above and beyond in science?!? We would love to hear about what you know! Any time you can make a connection between what we are learning and something in real life.... Are you watching a tv show about animals? Helping your parents measure and cook? Look around outside--what do you see? weather?plants?machines?a dead leaf? These are all examples of "Science in the News"! All you have to do is write it down! //I need three sentences that describe: what it is, how it relates to science, and how it relates to what we are learning in school.// You will be able to share in front of the class and we will post your discoveries on the wall :)=====
