5th Grade:  We are learning about different cycles in the living environment.  We have just begun our lessons on the carbon cycle.  Next we will explore the nitrogen cycle.  Finally, we will end our science unit on the water cycle.  Fun and educational labs on all three cycles are planned.  Students will also focus on NGSS design and development questions.   
             
6th Grade:  We are continuing our exploration of astronomy.  We are focusing on galaxies, meteors, comets, and asteroids.   The sixth graders will be participating in a galaxy identification lab to help accentuate their knowledge on the subject.  I think we will have some future astronomers!
