Grade 5 Science with Special Education Support for Parents - Semester 1

This self-paced, online course engages fifth-grade students in exploring key scientific concepts across life, physical, and earth science. Students investigate ecosystems, energy, matter, forces, weather patterns, and the solar system through interactive lessons and hands-on activities. The course emphasizes scientific inquiry, critical thinking, and using evidence to support explanations. Students build skills in observation, experimentation, and data analysis while fostering curiosity and a deeper understanding of the natural world in a flexible learning environment.

Parents of neurodivergent learners are supported through a dedicated online platform offering expert guidance and practical resources. They gain insight into their child’s learning needs, including diagnoses such as autism, dyslexia, intellectual disability, or ADHD, and receive strategies aligned with visual, auditory, or kinesthetic learning styles. The platform includes at-home activities to strengthen fine and gross motor skills that support experiments, recording observations, and other academic tasks.

Parents also receive adaptive approaches to support scientific exploration and academic growth. Accessible educational tools, including Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC), help personalize instruction for each learner. Families have access to downloadable resources, a supportive online community, and ongoing professional guidance throughout the course.

This course includes six months of access to all materials and resources. To learn more about our courses, visit https://onfirelearning.com/course-catalog/.
