The Mindspring Science Foundations curriculum adheres to state standards for most states' fifth grade science standards.  It is always suggested by Mindspring that parents review their child's curriculum regardless of the source or service employed.  Educational freedom provides parents with opportunities and responsibilities as the foundational providers of family guidance.  Feel free to enhance, replace, or omit sections of this curriculum.  Mindspring is here to support you in this endeavor.
