Science
Elements and their combinations account for all the varied types of matter in the world. As a basis for understanding this concept:
Students know the common properties of salts, such as sodium chloride (NaCl).
Lesson Plan Acids and BasesGrade 5
The student demonstrates understanding of the interactions between matter and energy and the effects of these interactions on systems by identifying physical and chemical changes based on observable characteristics (e.g., tearing paper vs. burning paper).
The student demonstrates understanding of the structure and properties of matter by comparing models that represent matter as solids, liquids, or gases and the changes from one state to another. (L)
Describe the relationship of populations within a habitat to various communities and ecosystems.
Describing symbiotic relationships
Identify major body systems and their functions, including the circulatory system, respiratory system, excretory system, and reproductive system.
Identify common parts of plant and animal cells, including the nucleus, cytoplasm, and cell membrane.
Comparing plant and animal cells
Properties and Changes of Properties in Matter: Understand physical and chemical properties of matter.
Distinguish between mixtures and compounds.
Describe forms of energy, including chemical, heat, light, and mechanical.
Describing alternatives to the use of fossil fuels. Examples: solar energy, geothermal energy, windmill, hydroelectric power, biomass
Lesson Plan Energy ResourcesGrade 5
Identify spheres of Earth, including the geosphere, atmosphere, and hydrosphere.
Describing the rock cycle
Changes in Environments: Describe the interactions between human populations, natural hazards, and the environment.
Propose a solution, resource, or product that addresses a specific human, animal, or habitat need.
The student demonstrates an understanding of the theories regarding the origin and evolution of the universe by recognizing that the Earth is in regular and predictable motion and this motion explains the length of a day and year.
Develop an understanding of the origins, ongoing processes, and forces that shape the structure, composition, and physical history of the Earth.
Compare effects of gravitational force on Earth, on the moon, and within space.
Identifying contributions of Newton to the study of gravity
Compare distances from the sun to planets in our solar system.
Relating the size of Earth to the size of other planets in our solar system
Contrast ways in which light rays are bent by concave and convex lenses.
Explaining why different objects have different colors
Contrast ways in which light rays are bent by concave and convex lenses.
Identifying the contribution of van Leeuwenhoek to the development of the microscope
Changes in Environments: Describe the interactions between human populations, natural hazards, and the environment.
Explain the impacts of natural hazards on habitats (e.g., global warming, floods, asteroid or large meteor impacts).
The student demonstrates an understanding of the forces that shape Earth by identifying causes (i.e., earthquakes, tsunamis, volcanoes, floods, landslides, and avalanches) of rapid changes on the surface.
Develop an understanding that historical perspectives of scientific explanations demonstrate that scientific knowledge changes over time, building on prior knowledge.
The student develops an understanding of the processes of science by asking questions, predicting, observing, describing, measuring, classifying, making generalizations, inferring and communicating.
