Mineral Identification
P.5.A.5: Students know the mass of a material remains constant whether it is together, in parts, or in a different state.
Chemical Changes
Chemical Equations
P.5.B: Students understand that forces can change the position and motion of an object.
P.5.B.1: Students know that, when an unbalanced force is applied to an object, the object either speeds up, slows down, or goes in a different direction.

Additive Colors
Radiation
Subtractive Colors
P.5.C.2: Students know the wave characteristics of sound.
P.5.C.4: Students know heat can move from one object to another by conduction, and some materials conduct heat better than others.
Conduction and Convection
Heat Transfer by Conduction
P.5.C.5: Students know the organization of a simple electrical circuit (i.e., battery or generator, wire, a complete loop through which the electrical current can pass).
E.5.A: Students understand the water cycle's relationship to weather.
E.5.A.1: Students know the Sun is the main source of energy for planet Earth.

E.5.C: Students understand that features on the Earth's surface are constantly changed by a combination of slow and rapid processes.
E.5.C.3: Students know landforms may result from slow processes (e.g. erosion and deposition) and fast processes (e.g. volcanoes, earthquakes, landslides, flood, and human activity).
L.5.A: Students understand that some characteristics are inherited and some are not.
L.5.A.1: Students know some physical characteristics and behaviors that are inherited in animals and plants.
L.5.A.3: Students know that, while offspring resemble their parents and each other, they also exhibit differences in characteristics.
