Welcome to 5th grade science! 5th grade science is broken into four quarters. This curriculum is packed full of fun facts, hands-on activities, and interactive learning. I believe that to understand a concept students, and grown-ups, need to jump in and experience it! Class will start with a brief presentation, game, or video. We will learn a little about the topic of the week and then dive into our activity. After class there will be a post-activity that is optional. This may include another hands-on experiment/activity, worksheet, or videos. I encourage students to share stories or show artifacts that have to do with the topic. This is optional, but always a fun way for students to be interactive! I encourage classroom conversation as I am always trying to post questions, reminders, and conversation starters. I love checking in during the week, espeically if we have an on-going experiment that we are observing! **Students do not need to take these quarter courses in order** **Please note quarter 3 covers whole body systems while this quarter briefly introduces organs, cells, tissues, etc.** Topics for this quarter: Week one- Insects vs. Humans Week two- Other animals vs. Humans Week three- Body organs class #1 - Covering the brain, heart, and lungs Week four- Body organs class #2 - Covering the stomach, instestines, and kidneys Week five- Body organs class #3 - Covering the skin Week six- Cells class #1 Week seven- Cells class #2 Week eight- Body tissues Week nine- Essential elements found in the body- Carbon, oxygen, hydrogen, nitrogen, and calcium Week ten- How it all works together and introduction to quarter 3 Please let me know if you have any questions!

Hi! My name is Kristi and I am so happy you ventured over to my science learning lab!
My goal is for students to have fun, maybe get messy, and gain a love for science! My teaching style is interactive and hands-on as I try to bring science to life. My classes work well for the kinesthetic learner.
You will find that most of my classes have a hands-on component to complement the learning experience and my presentations are very visual.
I do my very best to keep prices lower than average as I understand how quickly classes add up for parents. Keeping the prices lower also helps parents as there are material lists for experiments and activities. However, almost every class that I have has a coupon! Please reach out if you need assistance.
When I am not teaching I love to spend time with my daughter outside, gardening, raising chicks, and learning new skills. My goal is to combine some of my hobbies while teaching.
I have been teaching environmental science to students in pre-k through 12th grade for over 12 years. I have taught in various settings including outdoors, in classrooms, and online. I currently run my own business developing and delivering science lessons and custom curriculums to students in school settings, early learning centers, scouts, libraries, and more! I received my B.A.s in Environmental Science and Sociology in 2016 and my M.S. in Resilient and Sustainable Communities in 2019.Reviews
