S5E: Earth and Space Science

S5E1: Obtain, evaluate, and communicate information to identify surface features on the Earth caused by constructive and/or destructive processes.

S5E1.a: Construct an argument supported by scientific evidence to identify surface features (examples could include deltas, sand dunes, mountains, volcanoes) as being caused by constructive and/or destructive processes (examples could include deposition, weathering, erosion, and impact of organisms).

River Erosion
Weathering

S5E1.b: Develop simple interactive models to collect data that illustrate how changes in surface features are/were caused by constructive and/or destructive processes.

Plate Tectonics
River Erosion
Weathering

S5P: Physical Science

S5P1: Obtain, evaluate, and communicate information to explain the differences between a physical change and a chemical change.

S5P1.b: Construct an argument based on observations to support a claim that the physical changes in the state of water are due to temperature changes, which cause small particles that cannot be seen to move differently.

Phases of Water

S5P1.c: Plan and carry out an investigation to determine if a chemical change occurred based on observable evidence (color, gas, temperature change, odor, new substance produced).

Chemical Changes

S5P2: Obtain, evaluate, and communicate information to investigate electricity.

S5P2.b: Design a complete, simple electric circuit, and explain all necessary components.

Circuit Builder

S5P2.c: Plan and carry out investigations on common materials to determine if they are insulators or conductors of electricity.

Circuit Builder

S5L: Life Science

S5L2: Obtain, evaluate, and communicate information showing that some characteristics of organisms are inherited and other characteristics are acquired.

S5L2.b: Ask questions to compare and contrast inherited and acquired physical traits.

Inheritance

S5L3: Obtain, evaluate, and communicate information to compare and contrast the parts of plant and animal cells.

S5L3.a: Gather evidence by utilizing technology tools to support a claim that plants and animals are comprised of cells too small to be seen without magnification.

Cell Structure

S5L3.b: Develop a model to identify and label parts of a plant cell (membrane, wall, cytoplasm, nucleus, chloroplasts) and of an animal cell (membrane, cytoplasm, and nucleus).

Cell Energy Cycle
Cell Structure
Cell Types

S5L3.c: Construct an explanation that differentiates between the structure of plant and animal cells.

Cell Types

S5L4: Obtain, evaluate, and communicate information about how microorganisms benefit or harm larger organisms.

S5L4.b: Construct an argument using scientific evidence to support a claim that some microorganisms are harmful.
