Spelling

Spelling Counts in Grade 5 Science

"Given Words" are words that are spelled correctly in the question or that can be found on the test.  

Students should put the effort into spelling science words correctly.

Science words such as environments, temperate, and sedimentary will often be found in the question or on the test.

Words in the question should be spelled correctly.  These are "Given Words" and good scientists should be able to correctly write given words.

Grade 5 students (and teachers) will make mistakes in spelling but the effort to be correct is critical.
