Science

=**5ALL SCIENCE WIKI** =

Welcome to the science wiki for Mr Allyn's 5th grade class. In Science, the experience of hands on activities will allow us to focus on the scientific method and the procedures that all scientists follow: making predictions; accounting for variables; testing hypotheses; close observation and careful record keeping; drawing conclusions; and analyzing or reflecting on the results. These skills are expanded throughout the year with the hopes that by spring, fifth grade students will be equipped to design and implement a simple experiment. The focus this fall will be on making realistic predictions and careful observations and record keeping. As with all the work this year, we will concentrate on clear communication and presentation of written work through their science journals which not only record the classroom activities, but require the students to reflect on those activities in homework assignments. We will study Optics, Sound, Introduction to Adolescence, Earth/Moon and Animal Behavior by studying wolves.
