Iowa 5th Grade Science: What Students Learn
Iowa 5th grade science introduces students to foundational concepts in physical science, life science, and Earth and space science. Topics include the properties of matter, forms of energy, how ecosystems function, Earth's water and weather systems, and patterns in space. These ideas build directly on what students learned in 4th grade and prepare them for middle school science in 6th grade.
