Cell Project by Shannan Marley-Whitehead Students are given a choice project where they can build a model of a plant or animal cell. Choice #1 is a Plastic Bag Cell, Choice #2 is a Gelatin Cell, and Choice #3 is a Styrofoam Cell. Complete with a page in which students describe and list the function of each organelle. Full page Grading Rubric included. This document can be modified to meet your needs.

This 5th grade syllabus is definitely parent friendly. It features general details of the core subjects: Language Arts (reading, writing, grammar, spelling, book reports), math, social studies, and science. It can be modified easily in Microsoft Word. Save yourself some time, don't reinvent the wheel! :)

This letter to parents comes complete with a small tear off slip that requires parent and student signatures acknowledging the upcoming Science Fair Project. This can be modified to meet your needs.

Chapter 4 Notes that I created from Houghton Mifflin California Science about Water Resources. Topic include: fresh water vs, saltwater, glaciers, aquifers, irrigation, pollution, sewage systems, water reclamation, wells, desalination, dams, aqueducts, systems of structures for carrying water to move it to where it's needed.

Students will: -Illustrate and label roots, stems, leaves, xylem, phloem, root hairs, root pressure, cohesion, gravity, and transpiration. -Draw arrows to show how materials move through the xylem and phloem. -Include a unique title for the drawing. -Include a brief written summary, in their own words, that explains what the drawing is intended to show.

This 5th Grade Science syllabus is aligned to the California Content Standards, specifically for Houghton Mifflin California Science. Feel free to modify this to meet your needs.

Chapter 2 Notes that I created from Houghton Mifflin California Science about the interactions of living things.

Going on a field trip to JPL or another location? Look no further! This aesthetically pleasing letter includes all the necessary details and even comes with a parent response tear off sheet. Modify this letter to meet your needs.

Self Assessment: Students assess their knowledge about vascular plants, nonvascular plants, xylem, phloem, transpiration, photosynthesis, etc. This can be edited to meet your needs.
