Welcome to the fifth grade. We will be using this blog to share thoughts and ideas related to our class discussions in science and social studies.

I’ll be closing this blog for the summer. Thank you all for a great year and all your contributions to our classes. I wish you all well in the 6th grade!

-Mr. Moss

Who passed the townshend acts? Use supportive details to support your response.

Why did the Americans believe that they had the ability to win a war?

How did Paul Revere help the colonists in the war?

I know that there are different types of fossils. Can you identify some different types of fossils and explain how they are formed?

Can you identify the three main rock groups? Can you identify three examples of each?

Why do you think that some people choose to not recycle?  :(

How can we reduce the amount of fossil fuels, such as oil and coal, that we use?

If you don’t reduce, reuse, and recycle, what do you think might happen to our environment in the future?

Do you think the conservation report we had to write was easy or difficult? Why or why not?

Do you think you would be a good conservationist? If so, then tell why you would be a good conservationist.

Mr. Moss added: That’s a good question. I would add “Why is it important to be a good conservationist?” and “How and what would you conserve? Water? Energy?” How you respond to these fundamental questions is really the “essence” of your conservation essays!

Check out the site: Get Energy Active to learn more about energy conservation. They have an interactive house that shows you how to reduce your carbon footprint. Have fun!

Why do you think that people had slaves even if they knew it was wrong?

What are the 3 R’s and what do they do to help an ecosystem?
