This year students will be studying three FOSS modules.
In the first module, Electromagnetic Force, students begin their exploration of forces. They learn the types of forces and begin to focus on electromagnetic force.
The second module, Weather and Water focuses first on weather conditions and then helps students apply their understanding of more complex concepts such as change of state, energy transfer and molecules and atoms to explain phenomena such as air masses, fronts, convection cells and climate change.
In the third module, Populations and Ecosystems students begin with studying the life cycle of milkweed bugs. They then continue their understanding of food webs and energy transfer. The process of photosynthesis and aerobic cellular respiration are reinforced as well. Finally, students will revisit the ways that humans have impacted Earth's systems.

Students be given all the materials they need to be successful this year. It is suggested they get a binder to hold all these materials. In addition, all notes and homework can be found on Google Classroom (see home page for link).
Also new this year, FOSS has a new app that has the Student Resource book available to download.
