In the app: https://ai.page/roadmap/ms-sci-grade-5 Part of: [Mississippi: Science](https://ai.page/roadmap/ms-sci.md) Goal: Mississippi academic standards: Science, Grade 5 ## 1. Earth and Space Science · Students will demonstrate an understanding of the effects of human interaction with Earth and how Earth's natural resources can be protected and conserved. - [Natural Disaster Solutions](https://ai.page/c/natural-disaster-solutions/index.md): Generate and compare multiple solutions to reduce the impacts of natural Earth processes on humans, such as earthquakes, floods, or volcanic eruptions - [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 ## 2. Earth and Space Science · Students will demonstrate an understanding of the principles that govern moon phases, day and night, appearance of objects in the sky, and seasonal changes. - [Changing Ideas About Space](https://ai.page/c/changing-ideas-about-space/index.md): Understand that ideas about the solar system changed over time: ancient people believed Earth was at the centre (geocentric model, Ptolemy), until Copernicus proposed the Sun was at the centre (heliocentric model), later confirmed by Galileo’s telescope observations - [Earth & Space Vocabulary](https://ai.page/c/earth-and-space-vocabulary/index.md): Use technical vocabulary for Earth's motion and the wider universe — rotation, revolution, axis, tilt, orbit, light year, gravitational force, atmosphere, lunar phases, waxing, waning, solstice, equinox, eclipse — and apply these when explaining day and night, the seasons, and the Moon's phases - [Phases of the Moon](https://ai.page/c/phases-of-the-moon/index.md): Explain the phases of the Moon as the changing angle of sunlight on the lunar surface as seen from Earth, and describe how solar and lunar eclipses occur ## 3. Earth and Space Science · Students will demonstrate an understanding of the locations of objects in the universe. - [How Telescopes Work](https://ai.page/c/how-telescopes-work/index.md): Know that telescopes are instruments that help us see distant objects in space, and that space telescopes like Hubble and James Webb orbit above Earth’s atmosphere to get clearer views of 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 - [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 - [Scale of the Solar System](https://ai.page/c/scale-of-the-solar-system/index.md): Use scale models, diagrams, or calculations to represent the relative sizes and distances of objects in the solar system, understanding that the distances between planets are enormously larger than the planets themselves ## 4. Physical Science · Students will demonstrate an understanding of the factors that affect the motion of an object through a study of Newton's Laws of Motion. - [Balanced & Unbalanced Forces](https://ai.page/c/balanced-and-unbalanced-forces/index.md): Plan and conduct an investigation to provide evidence of the effects of balanced and unbalanced forces on the motion of an object - [Predicting Motion Patterns](https://ai.page/c/predicting-motion-patterns/index.md): Make observations and measurements of an object's motion to provide evidence that a pattern can be used to predict future motion - [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 - [Relative Motion](https://ai.page/c/relative-motion/index.md): Explain relative motion — how the apparent speed and direction of an object depends on the observer's own motion — using everyday examples such as trains and cars passing ## 5. Physical Science · Students will demonstrate an understanding of the difference between physical and chemical changes. - [Physical vs Chemical Changes](https://ai.page/c/physical-vs-chemical-changes/index.md): Distinguish between physical changes (reversible, no new substances formed) and chemical changes (new substances formed, often irreversible), using conservation of mass to understand both types ## 6. Physical Science · Students will demonstrate an understanding of mixtures and solutions. - [Separating Mixtures](https://ai.page/c/separating-mixtures/index.md): Use knowledge of solids, liquids, and gases to decide how mixtures might be separated through filtering, sieving, and evaporating - [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 ## 7. Physical Science · Students will demonstrate an understanding of the physical properties of matter. - [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 - [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 - [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 ## 8. Life Science · Students will demonstrate an understanding of a healthy ecosystem with a stable web of life and the roles of living things within a food chain and/or food web, including producers, prim - [Ecology Vocabulary](https://ai.page/c/ecology-vocabulary/index.md): Use vocabulary for feeding relationships and ecological roles — producer, consumer, predator, prey, herbivore, carnivore, omnivore, decomposer, food chain, food web, nutrient cycle — and describe how energy and matter flow through ecosystems using these terms - [Food Webs & Interdependence](https://ai.page/c/food-webs-and-interdependence/index.md): Construct and interpret food webs showing the interdependence of organisms in an ecosystem, explaining how a change in one population affects others ## 9. Life Science · Students will demonstrate an understanding of photosynthesis and the transfer of energy from the sun into chemical energy necessary for plant growth and survival. - [Photosynthesis](https://ai.page/c/photosynthesis/index.md): Explain photosynthesis as the process by which plants use light energy to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose and oxygen, and describe how mineral nutrients are absorbed through roots ## Health: 0 of 100 Of its 22 own concepts: 0 have an explanation, 0 have practice, 0 have a measurement question, 0 have a checked version.
