Science Resource Book for PYP Grade 5

This science resource is designed for Grade 5 PYP ESL/ELL students working within Units of Inquiry and needing accessible, language-rich support to master key science concepts. It includes four complete unit outlines and companion materials for: Life Cycle of a Plant (growth patterns, environmental factors, adaptation experiments, human impact, reflection and action), Climate, Weather and Astronomy (solar system, water cycle, weather patterns, weather instruments, seasons and Earth’s tilt, phases of the Moon, summative assessment), Sounds (what is sound, how sound travels through materials, pitch and volume, soundscape and cultural expression, making sound visible, creating sound instruments), and Human Body Systems (intro to systems, skeletal and muscular systems, circulatory, respiratory, digestive and nervous systems). Each unit is structured into six clearly sequenced lessons with key vocabulary, guiding questions, and space for formative and summative assessments, making it ideal for inquiry-based, concept-driven science instruction.
