5th Grade Performance Expectations 5-PS1.A,B (Structure and Properties of Matter)
5-PS1-1. Develop a model to describe that matter is made of particles too small to be seen.
5-PS1-2. Measure and graph quantities to provide evidence that regardless of the type of change that occurs when heating, cooling, or mixing substances, the total weight of matter is conserved.
CCSS- MP.5 Use appropriate tools strategically.
5.MD.A.1 Convert among different-sized standard measurement units within a given measurement system (e.g., convert 5 cm to 0.05 m), and use these conversions in solving multi-step, real-world problems. (5-PS1-2)
CCSS 5.NBT.A.1 Explain patterns in the number of zeros of the product when multiplying a number by powers of 10, and explain patterns in the placement of the decimal point when a decimal is multiplied or divided by a power of 10. Use whole-number exponents to denote powers of 10.
SEP Using Mathematics and Computational Thinking: Measure and graph quantities such as weight to address scientific and engineering questions and problems.
RI.5.7 Draw on information from multiple print or digital sources, demonstrating the ability to locate an answer to a question quickly or to solve a problem efficiently. (5-PS1-1)
5-PS1-3. Make observations and measurements to identify materials based on their properties.
CCSS W.5.8 Recall relevant information from experiences or gather relevant information from print and digital sources; summarize or paraphrase information in notes and finished work, and provide a list of sources.
CCSS MP.2 Reason abstractly and quantitatively.
5-PS1-4. Conduct an investigation to determine whether the mixing of two or more substances results in new substances.
CCC Cause and Effect
Cause and effect relationships are routinely identified and used to explain change.
DCI 4B Chemical Reactions: When two or more different substances are mixed, a new substance with different properties may be formed.
SEP Planning and Carrying out Investigations
Conduct an investigation collaboratively to produce data to serve as the basis for evidence, using fair tests in which variables are controlled and the number of trials considered.
SEP Developing and Using Models
Use models to describe phenomena.
DCI 1A
Matter of any type can be subdivided into particles that are too small to see, but even then the matter still exists and can be detected by other means. A model showing that gases are made from matter particles that are too small to see and are moving freely around in space can explain many observations, including the inflation and shape of a balloon and the effects of air on larger particles or objects.
CCC Scale, Proportion, and Quantity
Natural objects exist from the very small to the immensely large.
DCI 2A: The amount (weight) of matter is conserved when it changes form, even in transitions in which it seems to vanish.
CCSS W.5.7 Conduct short research projects that use several sources to build knowledge through investigation of different aspects of a topic.
CCC Scale, Proportion, and Quantity:
Standard units are used to measure and describe physical quantities such as weight, time, temperature, and volume.
CCC Scale, Proportion, and Quantity: Standard units are used to measure and describe physical quantities such as weight, time, temperature, and volume.
SEP Planning and Carrying out Invitations
Make observations and measurements to produce data to serve as the basis for evidence for an explanation of a phenomenon.
DCI 3A Measurements of a variety of properties can be used to identify materials. (Boundary: At this grade level, mass and weight are not distinguished, and no attempt is made to define the unseen particles or explain the atomic-scale mechanism of evaporation and condensation.)
