In the app: https://ai.page/roadmap/nc-sci-grade-5 Part of: [North Carolina: Science](https://ai.page/roadmap/nc-sci.md) Goal: North Carolina academic standards: Science, Grade 5 ## 1. Earth’s Systems · Understand how Earth systems (hydrosphere and atmosphere) impact patterns of weather and climate. - [The Water Cycle](https://ai.page/c/the-water-cycle/index.md): Describe the water cycle, tracing water through evaporation, condensation, precipitation, surface runoff, and transpiration in plants, explaining how the sun drives the cycle - [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 ## 2. Heredity- Inheritance and Variation of Traits · Understand some characteristics of an organism are inherited and other characteristics are acquired. - [Inheritance Vocabulary](https://ai.page/c/inheritance-vocabulary/index.md): Use vocabulary for variation and inheritance — inherited characteristic, acquired characteristic, variation, offspring, trait, species, breed, genetic, environment — and apply these when comparing organisms and explaining similarities and differences within and between species - [Inherited characteristics](https://ai.page/c/inherited-characteristics/index.md): Analyse and interpret data to provide evidence that plants and animals have traits inherited from parents and that variation of these traits exists in a group of similar organisms ## 3. Ecosystems- Interactions, Energy, and Dynamics · Understand the interdependence of plants and animals within their ecosystem. - [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 - [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 - [Ocean Ecosystems](https://ai.page/c/ocean-ecosystems/index.md): Understand ocean ecosystems as interconnected systems where living things (producers, consumers, decomposers) and non-living factors (temperature, salinity, light, currents) all interact, and that changes to one part affect the whole system ## 4. From Molecules to Organisms- Structures and Processes · Understand how structures and systems of the human body perform functions necessary for life. - [Organ Systems Vocabulary](https://ai.page/c/organ-systems-vocabulary/index.md): 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 - [Cells to Organ Systems](https://ai.page/c/cells-to-organ-systems/index.md): Describe the hierarchical organisation of multicellular organisms: cells → tissues → organs → organ systems → organism ## 5. Motion and Stability- Forces and Interactions · Understand force, motion, and the relationship between them. - [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 - [Force & Motion Vocabulary](https://ai.page/c/force-and-motion-vocabulary/index.md): Use technical vocabulary for force and motion — balanced forces, unbalanced forces, resultant force, acceleration, deceleration, speed, moment, lever, fulcrum, mechanical advantage — and apply these when explaining and predicting how forces affect the motion and position of objects - [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 - [Air Resistance & Friction](https://ai.page/c/air-resistance-and-friction/index.md): Identify the effects of air resistance, water resistance, and friction, and understand that these forces act between moving surfaces to oppose motion ## 6. Matter and its Interactions · Understand the interactions of matter and energy and the changes that occur. - [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 15 own concepts: 0 have an explanation, 0 have practice, 0 have a measurement question, 0 have a checked version.
