Science
We will visit the science lab weekly. Here are our units of study.

Earth Science
From FOSS: "The investigations provide students with firsthand experiences with rocks and minerals, and modeling experiences to study changes to rocks and minerals at Earth’s surface."
Physical Science
From FOSS: "Students experience magnetism and electricity as related effects and learn useful applications of magnetism and electricity in everyday life."
Electricity
Circuits
From FOSS:
When electricians and electrical engineers record their circuits, they use drawings called schematic diagrams. They use symbols (simple drawings) that are easy to draw for the components (bulbs, wires, and batteries).
Schematics are always drawn with square corners to keep them neat.

Life Science
From FOSS: "Students focus on the concepts that all organisms need energy and matter to live and grow and living organisms depend on one another and on their environment for their survival."
