In the app: https://ai.page/roadmap/wv-sci-grade-5 Part of: [West Virginia: Science](https://ai.page/roadmap/wv-sci.md) Goal: West Virginia academic standards: Science, Grade 5 ## 1. Engineering, Technology, and Applications of Science - [Simple Design Problems](https://ai.page/c/simple-design-problems/index.md): Define a simple design problem reflecting a need or want that includes specified criteria for success and constraints on materials, time, or cost - [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 - [Fair testing (age 8+)](https://ai.page/c/fair-testing-age-8/index.md): 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. Earth and Space Science - [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 - [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 - [Natural resources](https://ai.page/c/natural-resources/index.md): Obtain and combine information to describe that energy and fuels are derived from natural resources and that their uses affect the environment - [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 - [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 - [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 ## 3. 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 - [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 ## 4. Physical Science - [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 - [Classifying Materials](https://ai.page/c/classifying-materials/index.md): Plan and conduct an investigation to classify different kinds of materials by their observable properties ## Health: 0 of 100 Of its 16 own concepts: 0 have an explanation, 0 have practice, 0 have a measurement question, 0 have a checked version.
