5th Grade Physical Science Projects (by date, latest first)

In this product, students will have the opportunity to complete 2 projects - a food chain and and food web project. Students will cut out the pictures and will glue them on a poster board to make a good chain and a food web. When students have completed the food chain and food web project, there are 2 rubrics that will rate the students on each project. Rubric categories include the food chain/web display, food chain/web labeling, and staying on task.

In this product, students will make a food chain mobile. They will cut out the sun, producers, and consumers cards, they will then make 3 mobiles. They will make a mobile that includes a sun, producer, and carnivore, a mobile that includes a sun, producer, and herbivore, and a mobile that includes a sun, producer, and omnivore. Students can work individually or with a partner or a group to complete this activity. Students will then research if their animal is a carnivore, herbivore, and omnivore and will label the consumer.

Are you uncomfortable teaching science concepts? Did you struggle to understand science as a student? Do you lack resources in your school to help you understand the concepts your students are supposed to know? My science units are comprehensive and include everything from content to games, research to projects, experiments to assessments. I guide your lessons, all you have to do is facilitate. Even if you are not comfortable with the content, my units will make you confident and efficient.

My products are MADE with your big kids and teens in mind. You won't find childish cartoons, hard-to-read and overdone fonts and you won't find crossword puzzles and wasted space. I take the time to ensure that my products are appealing to an older group of students, but still attractive, engaging and at their level. They are created for students in grades 4 to 8 in Immersion or French as a first language.

This massive 116-page document will give you absolutely everything you could possibly need to teach forces and structures to your 5th graders.

It includes:

71 pages of instructional slides, including discussion questions, games, checks and in-depth explanations at their level.

I cover:

• force and its three elements (magnitude, direction, location),
• force in our daily lives,
• internal and external forces,
• machines,
• mechanisms,
• active and inactive loads,
• static and dynamic loads,
• gravity and the center of gravity,
• the functions of structures,
• structural forms (solid structures, frame structures, shell structure),
• the advantages and disadvantages of structural forms,
• bridge structures (truss bridge, beam bridge, suspension bridge, arch bridge, cantilever bridge or cantilever bridge).

34 pages of activities, reading comprehensions, graphic organizers, science experiments with step-by-step instructions, final projects and rubrics.

** My materials are constantly evolving and I add activities, printables and teaching materials as I make them for my own use. My group is tiered and most of my students require adaptations in the form of graphic organizers. Therefore, my documents reflect a multilevel class. **
