Physical Sciences

  • 1.

    Analyze and interpret data to explain that matter of any type can be subdivided into particles too small to see and, in a closed system, if properties change or chemical reactions occur, the amount of matter stays the same.5.P1U1.1

  • 2.

    Plan and carry out investigations to demonstrate that some substances combine to form new substances with different properties and others can be mixed without taking on new properties.5.P1U1.2

  • 3.

    Construct an explanation using evidence to demonstrate that objects can affect other objects even when they are not touching.5.P2U1.3

  • 4.

    Obtain, analyze, and communicate evidence of the effects that balanced and unbalanced forces have on the motion of objects.5.P3U1.4

  • 5.

    Define problems and design solutions pertaining to force and motion.5.P3U2.5

  • 6.

    Analyze and interpret data to determine how and where energy is transferred when objects move.5.P4U1.6

Earth and Space Sciences

  • 7.

    Develop, revise, and use models based on evidence to construct explanations about the movement of the Earth and Moon within our solar system.5.E2U1.7

  • 8.

    Obtain, analyze, and communicate evidence to support an explanation that the gravitational force of Earth on objects is directed toward the planet's center.5.E2U1.8

Life Sciences

  • 9.

    Obtain, evaluate, and communicate information about patterns between the offspring of plants, and the offspring of animals (including humans); construct an explanation of how genetic information is passed from one generation to the next.5.L3U1.9

  • 10.

    Construct an explanation based on evidence that the changes in an environment can affect the development of the traits in a population of organisms.5.L3U1.10

  • 11.

    Obtain, evaluate, and communicate evidence about how natural and human-caused changes to habitats or climate can impact populations.5.L4U3.11

  • 12.

    Construct an argument based on evidence that inherited characteristics can be affected by behavior and/or environmental conditions.5.L4U3.12
