Usually, planning for a full year of 5th grade science isn’t something we dive into until the first days of school or right before.
And if your school doesn’t have a 5th grade science curriculum for you to use, you might be feeling a bit stressed about your science block.
If we want to cover everything in the 5th-grade science standards, it’s best to start planning early —ideally with a full-year plan that makes teaching science both engaging and manageable.
So, if you’re coming across this post in late summer, early fall, or even winter, you’ve got time to prepare your science lessons strategically, which is fantastic!
And if you’re reading this mid-year, don’t worry; you’re still in the perfect spot to make a smooth plan that covers all the essentials.
I’m here to help!
Luckily, I’ve created a yearlong science curriculum bundle designed for just that: covering each 5th grade science standard with hands-on, low-prep activities, reading passages, and review tools that fit seamlessly into your schedule.
This bundle is packed with all the units, experiments, and activities your students need to master the science standards—from the scientific method to solar systems, life cycles, and beyond.
What a Year-Long Science Curriculum Can Do for Your Classroom
Having a year-long science curriculum at your fingertips can make a huge difference.
With 5th graders, we’re covering a lot of ground: everything from the scientific method and energy types to weather, natural disasters, and the human body. Each unit needs to be engaging enough to keep their curiosity alive while also hitting the standards, and it’s so helpful to have lessons already mapped out for each topic.
This bundle lays out a full year of science for you, with hands-on activities, reading passages, and plenty of opportunities for discussion.
The goal?
To help students really connect what they’re learning to the world around them.
And let’s face it—we have so much on our plates that having consistent, ready-to-go units keeps things on track and makes it easier to weave in those big-picture science skills over time.
Having this bundle means you’re not scrambling to find materials that fit.
Instead, you’re set up to keep students engaged with activities that deepen understanding and build curiosity, all while covering what they need to know for 5th grade science.
They especially love how little advance prep is required.
Here’s what other teachers have to say about this growing science bundle:
⭐⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ “My heart always skips a beat when something is actually aligned to the NGSSS like it claims to be. My heart definitely skipped a few beats for this one!”
⭐⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ “Lots of great ideas and hands on. Notebook ideas too! Fun, interactive and engaging! Great support to science curriculum.”
⭐⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ “This product was great for my 5th grade students! The product is engaging and rigorous so my students felt strong in the standard after completion.”
