(Note: Also read, find ways to make posters/brochures/booklets about your knowledge, etc.)
Of course, this is all optional, but it will help bring school to you while we are not at school. I also offered up more recommendations because it's kind of a "you choose" range of activities, videos, and tutorials.
Math Class:
Our next unit is customary and metric measurement, and I already recommended some modules on Khan Academy that flip our classroom appropriately. What I mean by "flip" is being exposed to content ahead of us covering it in class. Seeing the videos and completing the questions on Khan Academy will make you more comfortable in completing escape rooms, project-based learning (PBL) activities (like the aquatic center we did for volume and the Thanksgiving meal math activity we did several months ago), and regular assignments. I highly recommend using Khan Academy during this time to get you ahead of the game, though it is optional.

IXL:
IXL: Under a free trial, you can only complete so many modules. Below are the link to fifth grade math and then fifth grade science. Since we have Khan Academy, you may want to try fifth grade science.
Science Class:
Our next unit is the one and only human body unit! What do you need to know by the END of this unit?
- Know the differences between the circulatory and respiratory systems. Which organs are in both systems? How are the functions of these two systems DIFFERENT?
- Know the functions of these organs inside and out: Heart, Lungs, Brain, Pancreas, Liver, Kidneys, Gallbladder, Stomach, Small Intestine, Large Intestine

I literally just found this channel while writing this post. It is a British YouTube channel that has some super-informative and unique videos about science!

Get a head start on blank book pages (will have to do on white paper folded in half for now, since books are at school):
- Organs of the Human Body (Heart, Lungs, Brain, Pancreas, Liver, Kidneys, Gallbladder, Stomach, Small Intestine, Large Intestine): Draw, label, explain the functions.
- The Rock Cycle: Draw and label the rock cycle.
- How Minerals Are Classified: Describe color, luster, hardness, cleavage/fracture, and any other properties. Describe what the MOHS scale is as well.
