Next Generation Science Standards by Unit
The Scientific Method:
NGSS Crosscutting Concepts:
Knowing, using, and interpreting scientific explanations of the natural world (disciplinary core ideas and crosscutting concepts)
Generating and evaluating scientific evidence and explanations (practices)
Participating productively in scientific practices and discourse (practices)
Understanding the nature and development of scientific knowledge (practices and crosscutting concepts)
Matter
5-PS1 Matter and Its Interactions Standards
PS1-1 Develop a model to describe that matter is made of particles too small to be seen.
PS1-2 Measure and graph quantities to provide evidence that regardless of the type of change that occurs when heating, cooling, or mixing substances, the total weight of matter is conserved.
PS1-3 Make observations and measurements to identify materials based on their properties.
PS1-4 Conduct an investigation to determine whether the mixing of two or more substances results in a new substance.
Space
PS2-1 Support an argument that the gravitational force exerted by Earth on objects is directed down
ESS1.B Earth and Solar System-orbits of the Earth around the sun together with rotation of Earth about an axis
ESS1-1 Support an argument that the apparent brightness of the sun and stars is due to their relative distances from the earth; NGSS Science and Engineering Processes: Modeling
5-ESS1-2 Represent data in graphical displays to reveal patterns of daily changes in length and directions of shadows, day and night
NGSS Science and Engineering Processes: Modeling; Argumentation
NGSS Crosscutting Concepts: Cause & Effect, Scale of Earth, Moon, and Sun in contrast to how each object appears in the sky from Earth, Patterns: similarities, differences, sort, classify, communicate and analyze
Earth's Systems
5-PS1 Earth’s Systems Standards
PS1-1 Develop a model to describe that matter is made of particles too small to be seen.
PS1-2 Measure and graph quantities to provide evidence that regardless of the type of change that occurs when heating, cooling, or mixing substances, the total weight of matter is conserved.
PS1-3 Make observations and measurements to identify materials based on their properties.
PS1-4 Conduct an investigation to determine whether the mixing of two or more substances results in a new substance.
Ecosystems
5-LS1 Ecology and Ecosystems Standards
LS1-1 Support and argument that plants get what they need chiefly from air and water
(not from soil)
5-PS3-1 Use models to describe that energy in animals’ food (used for body repair, growth, motion, and to maintain body warmth) was once energy from the sun.
5-LS2-1 Develop a model to describe the movement of matter among plants, animals, decomposers, and the environment.
MS-LS2-3 Develop a model to describe the cycling of matter and flow of energy among living and nonliving parts of an ecosystem.
Force & Motion
3-5 Motion and Stability: Forces and Interactions
3-PS2-1 Plan and conduct an investigation to provide evidence of the effects of balanced and unbalanced forces on the motion of an object.
3-PS2-2 Make observations and/or measurements of an object’s motion to provide evidence that a pattern can be used to predict future motion.
