In the app: https://ai.page/roadmap/mn-sci-grade-5 Part of: [Minnesota: Science](https://ai.page/roadmap/mn-sci.md) Goal: Minnesota academic standards: Science, Grade 5 ## 1. Grade 5 · Students will be able to apply scientific principles and empirical evidence (primary or secondary) to explain the causes of phenomena or identify weaknesses in explanations developed by the - [Building an energy-converting device](https://ai.page/c/building-an-energy-converting-device/index.md): Apply scientific ideas to design, test, and refine a device that converts energy from one form to another - [Evidence Supporting Ideas](https://ai.page/c/evidence-supporting-ideas/index.md): Identify scientific evidence that has been used to support or refute ideas or arguments, evaluating the strength of evidence - [Speed and energy](https://ai.page/c/speed-and-energy/index.md): Use evidence to construct an explanation relating the speed of an object to the energy of that object ## 2. Grade 5 · Students will be able to develop, revise, and use models to represent the students' understanding of phenomena or systems as they develop questions, predictions and/or explanations, and comm - [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 - [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 - [Waves & How They Move](https://ai.page/c/waves-and-how-they-move/index.md): Develop a model of waves to describe patterns in terms of amplitude and wavelength, and understand that waves can cause objects to move ## 3. Grade 5 · Students will be able to engage in argument from evidence for the explanations the students construct, defend and revise their interpretations when presented with new evidence, critically ev - [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 ## 4. Grade 5 · Students will be able to use mathematics to represent physical variables and their relationships; compare mathematical expressions to the real world; and engage in computational thinking as - [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 - [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) ## 5. Grade 5 · Students will be able to argue from evidence to justify the best solution to a problem or to compare and evaluate competing designs, ideas, or methods. - [Evidence-Based Classification](https://ai.page/c/evidence-based-classification/index.md): Give reasons for classifying plants and animals based on specific characteristics, using evidence to justify classification decisions ## 6. Grade 5 · Students will be able to design and conduct investigations in the classroom, laboratory, and/or field to test students' ideas and questions, and will organize and collect data to provide evi - [Drawing conclusions from evidence (age 9+)](https://ai.page/c/drawing-conclusions-from-evidence-age-9/index.md): Report and present findings including conclusions, causal relationships, explanations, and a degree of trust in results using oral and written forms - [Fair testing (age 9+)](https://ai.page/c/fair-testing-age-9/index.md): Use test results to make predictions and set up further comparative and fair tests to investigate new questions ## 7. Grade 5 · Students will be able to represent observations and data in order to recognize patterns in the data, the meaning of those patterns, and possible relationships between variables. - [How energy travels around](https://ai.page/c/how-energy-travels-around/index.md): Observe and provide evidence that energy can be transferred from place to place by sound, light, heat, and electric currents ## 8. Grade 5 · Students will be able to ask questions about aspects of the phenomena they observe, the conclusions they draw from their models or scientific investigations, each other's ideas, and the info - [What happens when things collide](https://ai.page/c/what-happens-when-things-collide/index.md): Ask questions and predict outcomes about the changes in energy that occur when objects collide ## Health: 0 of 100 Of its 14 own concepts: 0 have an explanation, 0 have practice, 0 have a measurement question, 0 have a checked version. Findings (each is a task for anyone's AI): - Building an energy-converting device comes before How energy travels around, which it needs - Building an energy-converting device has no explanation yet - Evidence Supporting Ideas comes before Drawing conclusions from evidence (age 9+), which it needs - Evidence Supporting Ideas has no explanation yet - Speed and energy has no explanation yet - Energy from Food & the Sun has no explanation yet - Matter Is Made of Particles has no explanation yet - Waves & How They Move has no explanation yet - Star Brightness & Distance has no explanation yet - Shadows has no explanation yet - Conservation of Mass has no explanation yet - Evidence-Based Classification has no explanation yet - Drawing conclusions from evidence (age 9+) has no explanation yet - Fair testing (age 9+) has no explanation yet - How energy travels around has no explanation yet - What happens when things collide has no explanation yet Credit: The structure of Minnesota academic standards: Science (https://education.mn.gov/mdeprod/idcplg?IdcService=GET_FILE&dDocName=PROD059214&RevisionSelectionMethod=latestReleased&Rendition=primary); concepts from the Marble Skill Taxonomy (v1), © Generative Spark, Inc.
