3. 5th Grade Science Grade Level Expectations
Unit: Nature of Science
Understand:
Unit: The Structure of Matter
The Atom is the basic unit of matter and can be classified on the periodic table according to its properties.
Two or more atoms can chemically combine to make compounds.
A chemical change results in a change in the characteristics of the matter. Physical change causes only a change in the appearance of the matter.
Matter changes state when the energy is added or removed.
Know:
Atoms are the basic unit of matter
What elements are
What system we use to classify elements (periodic table)
What a molecule and compound are
The difference between a mixture and solution
The physical and chemical properties of matter
The difference between a physical and chemical change
That matter is conserved during any change
The states of matter
The relative position of the atoms in any state
That energy is required to change the state of matter
Be able to:
Create a model of an atom identifying components and charge
Explain how we classify atoms
Compare and contrast mixtures and solutions
Differentiate between physical and chemical changes
Diagram the relative position of atoms / molecules in the 3 states of matter
Observe and record changes in matter
Create and interpret tables and charts
Describe the difference among elements, compounds, and mixtures
Create a model or diagram of an element, a compound, and a mixture
Describe the form of a matter in its solid, liquid, and gaseous state
