Missouri academic standards: Science, Grade 5

0 of 18 concepts ready to learn · Markdown, for your AI

1. Engineering Design · Optimizing the Solution Process

  1. Fair testing (age 8+): 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

2. Engineering Design · Developing Possible Solutions

  1. Comparing Possible Solutions: Generate and compare multiple possible solutions to a problem based on how well each is likely to meet the criteria and constraints

3. Engineering Design · Defining and Delimiting Engineering Problems

  1. Simple Design Problems: Define a simple design problem reflecting a need or want that includes specified criteria for success and constraints on materials, time, or cost

4. Earth and Human Activity · Human Impacts on Earth's Systems

  1. Communities Protecting Resources: Obtain and combine information about ways individual communities use science ideas to protect the Earth's resources and environment

5. Earth's Systems · The Role of Water in Earth's Surface Processes

  1. Salt Water vs Fresh Water: Describe and graph the amounts of salt water and fresh water in various reservoirs to provide evidence about the distribution of water on Earth

6. Earth's Systems · Earth Materials and Systems

  1. Earth's atmosphere: Develop a model to describe ways the geosphere, biosphere, hydrosphere, and atmosphere interact as connected Earth systems

7. Earth's Place in the Universe · Earth and the Solar System

  1. Shadows: Represent data in graphical displays to reveal patterns of daily changes in shadow length and direction, day and night cycles, and seasonal star patterns

8. Earth's Place in the Universe · The Universe and its Stars

  1. Star Brightness & Distance: 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

9. Ecosystems: Interactions, Energy, and Dynamics · Cycles of matter and Energy Transfer in Ecosystems

  1. Matter Cycling in Ecosystems: Develop a model to describe the movement of matter among plants, animals, decomposers, and the environment in an ecosystem

10. From Molecules to Organisms: Structure and Processes · Organization for Matter and Energy Flow in Organisms

  1. Plants Grow from Air & Water: Support an argument that plants get the materials they need for growth chiefly from air and water, not from the soil

11. From Molecules to Organisms: Structure and Processes · Structure and Function

  1. Organ Systems Vocabulary: Use technical vocabulary for the major organ systems — organ, organ system, circulatory system, digestive system, respiratory system, skeletal system, muscular system, nutrient, oxygen, carbon dioxide, blood vessel, artery, vein, capillary, enzyme — and describe the function of each system using these terms

12. Waves and Their Applications in technologies for Information Transfer · Wave Properties

  1. Waves & Different Materials: Explain how waves can be absorbed, transmitted, or reflected by different materials, and apply these interactions to explain colour perception, sight, communication technologies, and the effects of different surfaces on wave behaviour

13. Energy · Energy in Chemical Process and Everyday

  1. Energy from Food & the Sun: Use models to describe that energy in animals' food was once energy from the sun, transferred through plants or other organisms

14. Motion and Stability: Forces and Interactions · Types of Interaction

  1. Gravity & Falling Objects: Explain that unsupported objects fall towards the Earth because of the force of gravity acting between the Earth and the falling object

15. Matter and Its Interactions · Types of Interactions of Matter

  1. What happens when things collide: Ask questions and predict outcomes about the changes in energy that occur when objects collide
  2. Separating Mixtures: Use knowledge of solids, liquids, and gases to decide how mixtures might be separated through filtering, sieving, and evaporating

16. Matter and Its Interactions · Structure and Properties of Matter

  1. Conservation of Mass: Measure and provide evidence that the total weight of matter is conserved regardless of the type of change (heating, cooling, or mixing)
  2. Matter Is Made of Particles: 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
