What we focused on...
There are several targets that we focus on during the year. Chemistry is large part of this as well as a unit on Space. We do many online experiments using an amazing site called Mystery Science. Our units are focused on the Web of Life ( Ecosystems & Food Webs), Watery Planet ( Water cycle & Earth Systems) , Spaceship Earth ( Sun, Moon, Stars & Planets) and Chemical Magic ( Chemical Reactions & Properties of Matter)
All of these Units focus on a child Observing and Asking questions ( Scientific Method) and Invention and Engineering concepts. |
Cumulative Projects
Several cumulative projects allowed us to use our knowledge at the 2.0 level to master the targets and apply this knowledge allowing us to build, experiment, use the Scientific Process to understand the concepts of Physics we had learned. We will design an Oil Filtration System to help trap oil from a River Ecosystem as well as designing a new and improved Parachute.
