5th Grade - Building Blocks of Life

What many of us began learning in high school is now introduced in 5th grade. Our grade five students are exploring cells, tissues and ultimately organ and organ systems in plants and animals.

Ask your student how a cheek cell varies in size from an onion skin cell.

Ask them what a leaf has in common with your kitchen.

Labs for this unit will include investigations on cells, photosynthesis, digestion and respiration.
