My name is Whitney Godfrey, and I created this site with my students, their families, and fellow teachers in mind. Please take a few minutes to tour the resources I included. Each resource was thoughtfully made with the intent of building 5th grade students' love and excitement for science while helping them perform at high levels on North Carolina End of Grade Testing. Take what you find here, download, and use to create your own science instruction that sparks your students' wonder, critical thinking skills, and abilities to solve problems.
In August of 2023, I began teaching sixth grade science, so spread the word to your middle school friends, as I am SURE I will be adding resources for the 6th grade science standards in North Carolina as the years progress.
Happy teaching and learning, everyone!

I taught fifth grade science for 13 years at at River Gate Elementary, in Charlotte, NC. Before River Gate, I taught third grade for ten years at Pineville Elementary, earning National Board Certification in 2001. Currently, I teach sixth grade science at Rea Farms STEAM Academy, also in Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools.
I love to teach students to see the world through a scientific lens, to encourage a love of inquiry and discovery, and to develop students’ critical thinking skills. I believe with my whole heart that developing a love of science in middles grades can be life-changing for students and can impact their futures in the most positive ways. |
