Science
Listed below is the vocabulary for each chapter. We will study each chapter for about 1.5-2 weeks. For science, we use the Harcourt science series. We are excited to have newer materials, and online resources to further engage students. This is very hands on, and fun to take part in. Be on the lookout for supplies that we will need donated throughout the year and for days that we may need parent volunteers to assist with experiments!

The eBook features the Student Edition pages plus a variety of engaging interactive activities to enhance students' learning experiences.

Glossary: Click Here for the interactive glossary of terms, many are FCAT tested (as indicated)
Activities: Click Here for great activities that are used in the classroom, but can also be used at home for further enrichment
