Science topics this year include: Earth, Sun and Moon Sound and the Ear Light, Color and the Eye Variables This year science will be part of the CMT. Students will be tested on the units covered in fifth grade as well as all units covered in the previous grades. In order to help prepare students for the science portion of the CMT, we will be reviewing the material previously learned in the younger grades. Science Experiments In order to reinforce the scientific method, students will be required to create a scientific experiment at home to perform for the class. They must think of an experiment and design it at home. On the date of their presentation, students will bring in all materials and will perform the experiment for the class. Experiment write-up worksheets will be due on the date of the presentation. Students have this in their science folder. On this worksheet, students will record their purpose, hypothesis, materials, procedure and conclusion for the experiment. The experiments can range from simple to complex, but students are limited to a ten-minute presentation.
