Grade: 5
Standards:
1. The Nature of Science and Technology: Students work collaboratively to carry out investigations. They observe and make accurate measurements, increase their use of tools and instruments, record data in journals, and communicate results through chart, graph, written, and verbal forms. Students repeat investigations, explain inconsistencies, and design projects.
2. Scientific Thinking: Students use a variety of skills and techniques when attempting to answer questions and solve problems. Students describe their observations accurately and clearly using numbers, words, and sketches, and are able to communicate their thinking to others. They compare, contrast, explain, and justify both information and numerical functions.
3. The Physical Setting: Students continue to investigate changes of Earth and the sky. They explore, describe, and classify materials, motion , and energy .
motion: the change in position of an object in a certain amount of time energy: what is needed to make things move
4. The Living Environment: Students learn about an increasing variety of organisms - familiar, exotic, fossil, and microscopic. They use appropriate tools in identifying similarities and differences among these organisms. Students explore how organisms satisfy their needs in their environments.
5. The Mathematical World: Students apply mathematics in scientific contexts. They make more precise and varied measurements in gathering data. Their geometric descriptions of objects are comprehensive, and their graphing demonstrates specific connections. They identify questions that can be answered by data distribution, e.g., "Where is the middle?" and their support of claims or answers with reasons and analogies becomes important.
6. Common Themes: Students work with an increasing variety of systems and begin to modify parts in systems and models and notice the changes that result.
