Matter
0507.9.1 Compare the simple chemical properties of common substances. 0507.9.2 Investigate how different types of materials freeze, melt, evaporate, or dissipate. 0507.9.3 Use data from a simple investigation to determine how temperature change affects the rate of evaporation and condensation. SPI 0507.9.1 Distinguish between physical and chemical properties. SPI 0507.9.2 Describe the differences among freezing, melting, and evaporation. SPI 0507.9.3 Describe factors that influence the rate at which different types of material freeze, melt, or evaporate. Interested in the periodic table of elements?
Here is a wonderful site that has an interactive periodic table. http://www.ptable.com/
Motion
0507.12.1 Explain and give examples of how forces act at a distance. 0507.12.2 Demonstrate how the shape of an object affects how it falls toward the earth. 0507.12.3 Design and explain an investigation exploring the earth’s pull on objects. SPI 0507.12.1 Recognize that the earth attracts objects without touching them. SPI 0507.12.2 Identify the force that causes objects to fall to the earth. SPI 0507.12.3 Use data to determine how shape affects the rate at which a material falls to earth.
Don't worry about the calculations, in 5th grade you only have to be able to distinguish (tell the difference) between potential and kinetic energy. This video has several good examples of the differences between potential and kinetic energy.
Energy 0507.10.1 Design and conduct an investigation to demonstrate the difference between potential and kinetic energy. 0507.10.2 Create a graphic organizer that illustrates different types of potential and kinetic energy. 0507.10.3 Describe the differences among conduction, convection, and radiation. 0507.10.4 Create a poster to illustrate the major forms of energy. 0507.10.5 Demonstrate different ways that energy can be transferred from one object to another. SPI 0507.10.1 Differentiate between potential and kinetic energy. SPI 0507.10.2 Use data from an investigation to determine the method by which heat energy is transferred from one object or material to another. |
