5th Grade Science in Hawaii

Hawaii 5th graders study a wide range of science topics, from the properties of matter to the structure of Earth's systems. These foundational concepts are introduced through hands-on inquiry and connect directly to what students will explore in middle school science.

Key Topics in Hawaii 5th Grade Science

Matter and Its Interactions: Students learn how matter is made of atoms and molecules, explore physical and chemical changes, and investigate how substances mix and react.
Ecosystems: Students examine how energy flows through food webs and how matter cycles through living and nonliving parts of an ecosystem.
Earth's Systems: Topics include the water cycle, Earth's spheres, and how humans affect natural systems.
Space Systems: Students explore the role of stars, the sun, and Earth's place in the solar system.

Hawaii Science Standards for Grade 5

Hawaii's 5th grade science curriculum is guided by the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS), which Hawaii has adopted statewide. These standards emphasize scientific thinking, real-world application, and building knowledge across life, earth, and physical science.
