Energy

  • 5-PS3-1.

    Use models to describe how energy from the sun is converted into food (used for body repair, growth, motion, and to maintain body warmth).5-PS3-1

From Molecules to Organisms: Structures and Processes

  • 5-LS1-1.

    Support an argument that plants get the materials they need for growth chiefly from air and water.5-LS1-1

Earth's Systems

  • 5-ESS2-1.

    Develop a model using an example to describe ways the geosphere, biosphere, hydrosphere, and/or atmosphere interact.5-ESS2-1

  • 5-ESS2-2.

    Describe and graph the amounts and percentages of water and fresh water in various reservoirs to provide evidence about the distribution of water on Earth.5-ESS2-2

Earth and Human Activity

  • 5-ESS3-1.

    Obtain and combine information about ways individual communities use science ideas to protect the Earth's resources and environment.5-ESS3-1

Engineering & Technology

  • 5-ET1-1.

    Define a simple design problem reflecting a need or a want that includes specified criteria for success and constraints on materials, time, or cost.5-ET1-1

  • 5-ET1-2.

    Generate and compare multiple possible solutions to a problem based on how well each is likely to meet the criteria and constraints of the problem.5-ET1-2

  • 5-ET1-3.

    Plan and carry out fair tests in which variables are controlled and failure points are considered to identify aspects of a model or prototype that can be improved.5-ET1-3

Earth's Place in the Universe

  • 5-ESS1-1.

    Support an argument that the apparent brightness of the sun and stars is due to their relative distances from the Earth.5-ESS1-1

  • 5-ESS1-2.

    Construct a graph to reveal patterns of daily changes in length (metric) and direction of shadows, length of day and night, and the seasonal appearance of some stars in the night sky.5-ESS1-2

Matter & Its Interactions

  • 5-PS1-1.

    Develop a model to describe that matter is made of particles too small to be seen.5-PS1-1

  • 5-PS1-2.

    Measure and graph metric quantities to provide evidence that regardless of the type of change that occurs when heating, cooling, or mixing substances, the total mass of matter is conserved.5-PS1-2

  • 5-PS1-3.

    Make observations and measurements to identify materials based on their properties.5-PS1-3

  • 5-PS1-4.

    Conduct an investigation to determine whether the mixing of two or more substances results in new substances.5-PS1-4

Ecosystems: Interactions, Energy, and Dynamics

  • 5-LS2-1.
