Welcome to Science

In 5th Grade Science...

All 5th grade students have completed all labs that corrospond with the Pollution Unit and will soon begin exploring different ideas as we begin our final 5th grade science unit on Flight.  We have already begun learning about the properties of air and the roles that lift, gravity, thrust, and drag play in flight.  Some key vocabulary that we are learning follows:

lift     gravity     thrust     drag     air pressure     matter     mass     volume     molecule     air resistance     canopy     surface area     density     envelope       air    angle of attack     airfoil     fuselage     tail assembly     wings     streamlined     Bernoulli principle    blade     hub     propeller    

If you would like to know about your child's progress at any time, please email me directly using the link above.  Include your child's homeroom teacher's name along with your child's name and I will email you back a current progress summary.  As always, if you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask!
