Matter and Energy
The student knows that matter has measurable physical properties that determine how matter is identified, classified, changed, and used.
5.6A: Compare and contrast matter based on measurable, testable, or observable physical properties, including mass, magnetism, relative density (sinking and floating using water as a reference point), physical state (solid, liquid, gas), volume, solubility in water, and the ability to conduct or insulate thermal energy and electric energy.

Force, Motion, and Energy
The student knows that energy is everywhere and can be observed in cycles, patterns, and systems.
5.8B: Demonstrate that electrical energy in complete circuits can be transformed into motion, light, sound, or thermal energy and identify the requirements for a functioning electrical circuit.

5.8C: Demonstrate and explain how light travels in a straight line and can be reflected, refracted, or absorbed.
Note: This skill includes some content that goes beyond the assessed curriculum for 2024-25.

Earth and Space
The student recognizes patterns among the Sun, Earth, and Moon system and their effects.
5.9A: Demonstrate that Earth rotates on its axis once approximately every 24 hours and explain how that causes the day/night cycle and the appearance of the Sun moving across the sky, resulting in changes in shadow positions and shapes.

The student knows that there are recognizable patterns and processes on Earth.
5.10B: Model and describe the processes that led to the formation of sedimentary rocks and fossil fuels.
5.10B: Model and describe the processes that led to the formation of sedimentary rocks and fossil fuels.
5.10C: Model and identify how changes to Earth's surface by wind, water, or ice result in the formation of landforms, including deltas, canyons, and sand dunes.

Organisms and Environments
The student describes patterns, cycles, systems, and relationships within environments.
5.12A: Observe and describe how a variety of organisms survive by interacting with biotic and abiotic factors in a healthy ecosystem.
5.12A: Observe and describe how a variety of organisms survive by interacting with biotic and abiotic factors in a healthy ecosystem.
The student knows that organisms undergo similar life processes and have structures and behaviors that help them survive within their environments.
5.13A: Analyze the structures and functions of different species to identify how organisms survive in the same environment.
