LA 5th Grade Science Curriculum
Give your child the support they need in 5th grade science. Our lessons follow what Louisiana schools teach, from the solar system to simple machines and living systems.
About 5th Grade Louisiana science
Louisiana follows the Louisiana Student Standards for Science, organized around life science, physical science, earth and space science, and science and engineering practices. In 5th grade, students explore the digestive, circulatory, and respiratory systems, investigate chemical changes and solutions, study force, energy, simple machines, rocks and minerals, the solar system, and ecosystems. StudyPug provides video lessons, step-by-step explanations, and practice problems for every strand in this course.
- Strands covered: life science (human body systems, ecosystems), physical science (solutions, chemical changes, forces, energy, simple machines), earth and space science (rocks, minerals, solar system), and science and engineering practices
- Video lessons taught by certified teachers for every 5th grade Louisiana science topic
- Practice problems and worked examples aligned to Louisiana Student Standards for Science
- Progress tracking and parent assignments to keep families informed

How StudyPug Helps Louisiana 5th Grade Science Students
When a student gets stuck on a concept like chemical changes or how the circulatory system works, StudyPug lets them rewatch a focused video lesson, try worked examples, and then test themselves with practice problems - all matched to what their Louisiana teacher is covering. For a full look at what is covered, visit our grade 5 science help course page.
Parents can monitor progress through assignments and see exactly which strands need more attention. Students moving up from 4th grade can review prior material using the la grade 4 science curriculum, and families can preview what comes next with the la grade 6 science curriculum.
