Give your child the science support they need with lessons and practice problems matched to what New Hampshire 5th graders study in class - from body systems to the solar system.
About 5th Grade New Hampshire science
New Hampshire follows the NH College and Career Ready Science Standards, which are aligned to the Next Generation Science Standards and organized around life science, physical science, earth science, and engineering practices. In 5th grade, students explore body systems including digestive, circulatory, and respiratory systems, investigate chemical changes and simple machines, study rocks, minerals, and natural resources, examine the solar system and space technology, and analyze ecosystems and human impact. StudyPug provides video lessons and practice problems covering every one of these strands.
