GRADE 5 SCIENCE TEST

We have been studying energy sources and energy conservation over the last few weeks. We will be having a test on this material on Monday, March 2. The students will also be building model homes that demonstrate a lot of the energy conservation technologies we have been studying. The project will be completed during school hours, but we do need materials. The students have a note in their agenda instructing them to collect these materials over the course of this week.
