Welcome to Fifth Grade Science and Social Studies! In science class students explore a number of topics, from matter, to ecosystems, to the position of Earth in the universe. More importantly, while exploring these topics, students are challenged to think critically, apply scientific and engineering principles, and engage in scientific argumentation. In Social Studies we will explore U.S. and South Carolina history from the Civil War to current times.
