Part of: [Pennsylvania: Science](https://ai.page/roadmap/pa-sci.md)

Goal: Pennsylvania academic standards: Science, Grade 5

## 1. Physical Science

- [Testing Materials for Uses](https://ai.page/c/testing-materials-for-uses/index.md): Give reasons, based on evidence from comparative and fair tests, for the particular uses of everyday materials including metals, wood, and plastic
- [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
- [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
- [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
- [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 & 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

## 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. Earth and Space Sciences

- [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
- [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
- [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
