A year of Grade 5 science in six steps
- Microbes (page 1). The book begins with living things too small to see, and what they do for us and against us.
- Keeping healthy (page 9). The heart, pulse rate and how exercise and medicines affect the body.
- Life cycles (page 23). The Sun's light, new life, fruits and seeds, germination and life cycles.
- Light (page 37). How light travels, shadows and how we see things.
- Changing state (page 51). Evaporation, condensation, boiling and freezing, and the water cycle.
- The Earth and beyond (page 65). The solar system, the Moon, day and night, and the year.
Spot the investigations
Several lesson titles say Investigating or Graphing: Investigating microbes (page 4), Investigating pulse rate (18), Investigating seed shapes (30), Investigating evaporation (54), Graphing evaporation (56) and Investigating boiling and freezing (60). These are the lessons where children design or run a test and record what happens. They match the investigations in the Grade 5 workbook, which has worksheets on heart rates, evaporation, shadows and melting ice.
Pairing with the workbook
The Grade 5 workbook in the same series has five units (Microbes, Keeping healthy, Life cycles, Light and Changing state) and 54 worksheets. The student book has the same five and adds a sixth, The Earth and beyond. Use the student book for the reading and the workbook for the worksheets.
Home ideas (not part of the book)
- Microbes: make bread or yoghurt together and talk about the microbes that help us.
- Keeping healthy: count a pulse for 30 seconds before and after a short walk (never push yourself too hard).
- Life cycles: keep seeds from a fruit at home and look at their shapes.
- Light: place a toy in sunlight at different times of day and mark where the shadow falls.
- Changing state: leave water in a wide dish and a narrow cup and watch evaporation.
- The Earth and beyond: look at the Moon each night for a week and draw its shape.
How to use the student book
- Read a lesson, then try something. Each lesson is short, so one lesson and one activity make a good evening.
- Use the unit review as a quick check.
- Use the exercise pages (81 to 86) a week after you finish each unit.
- Use the glossary (page 87) for new words and the index (page 89) to find a topic.
