$5 - $10 5th Grade Science Handouts (by date, oldest first)

I've been asked by many to create a document that encompasses lots of comprehension texts and questions, specifically related to science. Interdisciplinary approaches are becoming more popular, but it's not always easy to find texts that meet the needs of our curriculum!

This 73-page document includes 22 different texts directly linked to grade 6 science units; including biodiversity and protecting our planet, space and the solar system, air and flight, as well as grade 5 concepts including forces and structures and matter.

All except two texts come with comprehension questions.

These will allow you to explore texts in your LA reading blocks, and will allow your students to improve their comprehension. These texts are informational, or hybrid texts that will give your students rich, meaningful readings. They're printer-friendly, with no foolish fonts or babyish images.

In this collection, you'll find the following titles:

1. Les espèces menacées
2. Les niveaux de risque et l’UICN
3. Des animaux fascinants
4. Une deuxième vie
5. Le gaspillage alimentaire
6. Des choix réfléchis
7. L’air et la troposphère
8. L’ornithoptère
9. La montgolfière de Blanchard
10. Un bref historique - les frères Wright
11. Les changements de la matière
12. Les changements
13. Les forces
14. Les phénomènes naturelles et la force
15. Les machines simples
16. Les systèmes mécaniques
17. L’avantage mécanique
18. Le Titanic
19. Un pas de géant: Neil Armstrong
20. La station spatiale internationale
21. Notre système solaire
22. Terre: une combinaison parfaite

Hopefully this helps you find common ground in your language block, so you can move quicker through the science units you're expected to cover before year's end.
