| Starting Off With a Bang! |
Thank you for visiting my site. I'm excited to start off a new year at Myrtle. This is my second year here, and I have already found Myrtle to be a wonderful and indescribable school. I love this school and its students!
I teach fifth and sixth grade science. I have a great love for science, which began when I was in elementary school.
I teach with a multple of approaches. My favorite is the "hands on" approach. That means students will get to experience and apply their learning and what they have been taught, first hand. (Check out our pictures!) I feel this makes for more memorable lessons. If you would like to stop by to experience one of your child's science lessons you are more than welcome to. Also, if you have any suggestions or ideas that may enhance what we might be studying, feel free to call me at the school or e-mail me at the address provided on this site.
I'm looking forward to the rest of the year. Thank you for allowing me to teach your children and for your involvement in your child's education.
God Bless,
Mrs. Pugh

We will have a wonderful time learning science in the fifth grade. All fifth grade students must take the Mississippi Science Test. It will take a lot of hard work but we will be prepared and blow the test away in March!
At the end of the year fifth grade students should know and understand:
1. How to demonstrate an understanding of scientific inquiry using process skills.
2. Understand relationships of the properties of objects and materials, positions and motion of objects, and transfer of energy to explain the physical world.
3. Predict characteristics, structures, life cycles, environments, evolution, and diversity of organisms.
4. Develop an understanding of the properties of Earth materials, objects in the sky, and changes in Earth and sky.

Sixth grade science is not all fun and games, but it will sure feel like it! Why does school seem to be boring when learning can be so much fun? We will have tons of fun with science activities this year. From CSI investigations to building a solar power match car, these activities are just examples of what you will experience in sixth grade science this year! So buckle up and get ready for an exciting year of science. Here are a few things you will learn and know this year.
1. How to conduct a scientific investigation utilizing appropriate process skills.
2. Analyze chemical and physical changes and interactions involving energy and forces that affect motion of objects.
3. Explain the organization of living things, the flow of matter and energy through ecosystems, the diversity and interactions among populations, and the natural and human-made pressures that impact the environment.
4. Establish connections among Earth's layers including the lithosphere, hydrosphere, and atmosphere.
