Genetic Patterns

5.L3U1.9

In this unit, Fifth Graders will explore the genetic patterns between the offspring of plants, and the offspring of animals. Let's investigate how genetic information is passed from one generation to the next!

Environmental Adaptations

5.L3U1.10

In this unit, Fifth Graders will explore how changes in an environment can affect the development of the traits in a population of organisms.

Environmental Change

5.L4U3.11

In this unit, Fifth Graders will investigate how natural and human-caused changes to habitats or climate can impact populations.

Inherited Characteristics

5.L4U3.12

In this unit, Fifth Graders will explore how inherited characteristics can be affected by behavior and/or environmental conditions.

The Nature of Matter

5.P1U1.1

In this unit, Fifth Graders will learn that matter of any type can be subdivided into particles too small to see and, in a closed system, if properties change or chemical reactions occur, the amount of matter stays the same.

Mixtures

5.P1U1.2

In this unit, Fifth Graders will investigate how some substances combine to form new substances with different properties and others can be mixed without taking on new properties.

Earth and Moon Orbits

5.E2U1.7

In this unit, Fifth Graders will construct explanations about the movement of the Earth and Moon within our solar system.

Earth's Gravity

5.E2U1.8

In this unit, Fifth Graders will explain how the gravitational force of Earth on objects is directed toward the planet’s center.

Friction & Magnetic Forces

5.P2U1.3

In this unit, Fifth Graders will explain how objects can affect other objects even when they are not touching.

Balanced & Unbalanced Forces

5.P3U1.4

In this unit, Fifth Graders will investigate the effects that balanced and unbalanced forces have on the motion of objects.

Force and Motion

5.P3U2.5

In this unit, Fifth Graders will define problems and design solutions pertaining to force and motion.

Energy Transfer

5.P4U1.6

In this unit, Fifth Graders will determine how and where energy is transferred when objects move.
