# Grade 5: Science A course roadmap (science). Language: en. By @si. Licence: CC BY-SA 4.0. 0 of 19 concepts ready. In the app: https://ai.page/roadmap/la-sci-grade-5 Part of: [Louisiana: Science](https://ai.page/roadmap/la-sci.md) Goal: Louisiana academic standards: Science, Grade 5 ## 1. Earth and Space Science - [Communities Protecting Resources](https://ai.page/c/communities-protecting-resources/index.md): Obtain and combine information about ways individual communities use science ideas to protect the Earth's resources and environment - [Salt Water vs Fresh Water](https://ai.page/c/salt-water-vs-fresh-water/index.md): Describe and graph the amounts of salt water and fresh water in various reservoirs to provide evidence about the distribution of water on Earth - [Earth's atmosphere](https://ai.page/c/earth-s-atmosphere/index.md): Develop a model to describe ways the geosphere, biosphere, hydrosphere, and atmosphere interact as connected Earth systems - [Shadows](https://ai.page/c/shadows/index.md): Represent data in graphical displays to reveal patterns of daily changes in shadow length and direction, day and night cycles, and seasonal star patterns - [Star Brightness & Distance](https://ai.page/c/star-brightness-and-distance/index.md): Support an argument that the apparent brightness of the sun and stars is due to their relative distances from Earth, understanding the sun is a relatively close star ## 2. Life Science - [Matter Cycling in Ecosystems](https://ai.page/c/matter-cycling-in-ecosystems/index.md): Develop a model to describe the movement of matter among plants, animals, decomposers, and the environment in an ecosystem - [Plants Grow from Air & Water](https://ai.page/c/plants-grow-from-air-and-water/index.md): Support an argument that plants get the materials they need for growth chiefly from air and water, not from the soil ## 3. Physical Science - [Energy from Food & the Sun](https://ai.page/c/energy-from-food-and-the-sun/index.md): Use models to describe that energy in animals' food was once energy from the sun, transferred through plants or other organisms - [Gravity Pulls Things Down](https://ai.page/c/gravity-pulls-things-down/index.md): Understand gravity as a force that pulls objects towards the centre of the Earth, that 'down' means towards Earth’s centre regardless of where you stand on the sphere, and that gravity keeps the Moon orbiting Earth and planets orbiting the Sun - [Comparing Possible Solutions](https://ai.page/c/comparing-possible-solutions/index.md): Generate and compare multiple possible solutions to a problem based on how well each is likely to meet the criteria and constraints - [Classifying Materials](https://ai.page/c/classifying-materials/index.md): Plan and conduct an investigation to classify different kinds of materials by their observable properties - [Conservation of Mass](https://ai.page/c/conservation-of-mass/index.md): Measure and provide evidence that the total weight of matter is conserved regardless of the type of change (heating, cooling, or mixing) - [Matter Is Made of Particles](https://ai.page/c/matter-is-made-of-particles/index.md): Develop a model to describe that matter is made of particles too small to be seen, and that this explains properties of solids, liquids, and gases ## 4. EARTH’S PLACE IN THE UNIVERSE - [Seasonal Constellations](https://ai.page/c/seasonal-constellations/index.md): Recognise named constellations visible in different seasons and understand why we see different constellations at different times of year — because Earth’s orbit around the Sun changes which part of the sky we face at night - [Why the Sun Looks Brightest](https://ai.page/c/why-the-sun-looks-brightest/index.md): Explain why the Sun appears much brighter than other stars: it is the nearest star to Earth, not the biggest or brightest star in the universe — understanding the difference between apparent brightness (how bright something looks) and actual brightness ## 5. MOTION AND STABILITY: FORCES AND INTERACTIONS - [Gravity & Falling Objects](https://ai.page/c/gravity-and-falling-objects/index.md): Explain that unsupported objects fall towards the Earth because of the force of gravity acting between the Earth and the falling object ## 6. MATTER AND ITS INTERACTIONS - [Pure Substances & Mixtures](https://ai.page/c/pure-substances-and-mixtures/index.md): Distinguish between pure substances and mixtures, identify formulations as useful mixtures with precise compositions, and use melting and boiling points to test for purity - [Material Properties Vocabulary](https://ai.page/c/material-properties-vocabulary/index.md): Use technical vocabulary to describe and compare material properties — conductor, insulator, thermal, electrical, transparent, opaque, translucent, soluble, insoluble, magnetic, flexible, rigid, density — and apply these terms precisely when selecting and justifying materials for particular purposes - [Advanced Material Properties](https://ai.page/c/advanced-material-properties/index.md): Compare and group everyday materials based on advanced properties: hardness, solubility, transparency, electrical and thermal conductivity, and response to magnets ## Health: 0 of 100 Of its 19 own concepts: 0 have an explanation, 0 have practice, 0 have a measurement question, 0 have a checked version.
