Students discover how substances change when they undergo chemical reactions, such as generating gases or producing unexpected color changes (Physical Science).

1 • Indicators – color change identification of chemical reactions
2 • Chemical Changes – chemical change versus physical change
3 • Physical Changes - physical changes in substances
4 • Gases – chemical reactions can produce gases

Introduces students to a basic force that strongly influences events that occur around them all the time (Physical Science).

Lets students experiment with this upward force that depends upon differences in density (Physical Science).

1 • Density – density is defined
2 • Floating – what floats and what stinks
3 • Buoyancy – how buoyancy affects objects in a fluid
4 • Applying Buoyancy – how buoyancy is used

Exposes students to the fact that many common substances, such as salt, sugar and ice are crystals and have repeating geometric patterns (Physical Science).

Students learn of differences between living organisms and how these differences allow them to survive (Life Science).

Delves more deeply into factors and forces that affect the seashore. Students learn to identify various plants and animals that are found there (Life & Earth Sciences).

1 • Wind, Water and Sand – how different seashores are formed
2 • How Tides are Formed – the forces behind tides
3 • Plants of the Seashore – plants that live in and by the sea are studied
4 • Animals of the Sea – different kinds of mollusks are examined

Students differentiate between solutions and mixtures, including gaining an understanding of the concept of concentrations (Physical Science).

Students apply observation to understand fossils and their formation, leading to an introduction to paleontology and dinosaurs (Life & Earth Sciences).

Students learn about renewable and nonrenewable resources, and establishes the relationship between Earth's resources and human development.  Explains why conservation is an important task, and concludes with easy methods of conservation (Earth Sciences/Physical Sciences).

Students explore how rocks vary and the origins of volcanoes.  By classifying and experimenting with rocks, students are given an introduction to geology (Earth Sciences).
