EbD Grade 5: Community Connections develops students’ understanding of transportation and communication technologies, basic principles of motion, human impact on the natural world, and sustainable use of land. Scientific inquiry and technological design are purposefully used as learning approaches in order to develop students’ STEM literacy and higher level thinking skills. Literacy strategies are integrated throughout lessons to support the development of reading, writing, and speaking skills. Core fifth grade math concepts and skills of converting of units in the metric system, plotting coordinates, and measures of center within statistics are reinforced through opportunities for application within meaningful STEM contexts.
