Earth Science

For our Earth Science unit this year, we will be taking a look at Earth's systems and how human activity effects the Earth. It is important to know the impact you can have on the planet because this is the only habitable planet in our solar system and we haven't been able to perfect space travel yet. Why not take a look at this website for some ideas on how you can help the earth a little bit every day! 55 Ways to Save the Environment

Biological Sciences

This year we will be covering many exciting biology topics. We will begin the year with Organisms and their building blocks, or cells. Then we'll move into organisms in their environments or ecosystems. We will also take a look at how ecosystems work. We will then take a look at heredity and how organisms have come to look the way they do through evolution and why some organisms of the same species look so different.
