MATTER AND ITS INTERACTIONS:
- I can develop a model to show that matter is made of particles.
- I can measure quantities to provide evidence that regardless of heating, cooling, or mixing substances, the weight of matter is the same
- I can make observations to identify materials based on their properties. 5-PS1-4.
- I can conduct an investigation to determine whether the mixing of two or more substances results in new substances.
MOTION AND STABILITY:
- I can support an argument that gravity forces objects down.
ENERGY:
- I can create models to describe that energy in animals’ food was once energy from the sun.
FROM MOLECULES TO ORGANISMS:
- I can support an argument that plants get what they need for growth from air and water.
ECOSYSTEMS:
- I can develop a model to describe the movement of matter among plants, animals, decomposers, and the environment.
EARTH’S PLACE IN THE UNIVERSE:
- I can support an argument that proves that the brightness of the sun compared to other stars is due to their relative distances from Earth.
- I can represent data to reveal patterns of daily changes in length and direction of shadows, day and night.
- I can develop a model to describe ways the geosphere, biosphere, hydrosphere, and atmosphere interact.
- I can graph the amounts and percentages of water and fresh water in various reservoirs.
- I can obtain information about ways individual communities use science ideas to protect the Earth’s resources and environment.
ENGINEERING DESIGN:
- I can design a simple problem reflecting a need or want that includes constraints on materials, time, and cost.
- I can generate and compare multiple solutions to a problem.
- I can plan and carry out fair tests in which variables are controlled.
