05.SC.ECO - Matter and Energy in Organisms and Ecosystems
05.SC.ECO.LS1-1Support an argument that plants get the materials they need for growth chiefly from air and water.Clarification Statement: Emphasis is on the idea that plant matter comes mostly from air and water, not from the soil.
05.SC.ECO.LS1-2Develop and describe a model that describes the movement of matter among plants, animals, decomposers, and the environment.Clarification Statement: Emphasis is on the idea that matter that is not food (air, water, decomposed materials in soil) is changed by plants into matter that is food. Examples of systems could include organisms, ecosystems, and the Earth.
05.SC.ECO.PS3-1Use models to describe that energy in animals’ food (used for body repair, growth, and motion and to maintain body warmth) was once energy from the sun.Clarification Statement: Examples of models could include diagrams, and flow charts.
05.SC.ED - Engineering Design
05.SC.ED.ETS1-1Define a simple design problem reflecting a need or a want that includes specified criteria for success and constraints on materials, time, or cost.Students who demonstrate understanding can: Define a simple design problem reflecting a need or a want that includes specified criteria for success and constraints on materials, time, or cost.
05.SC.ED.ETS1-2Generate and compare multiple possible solutions to a problem based on how well each is likely to meet the criteria and constraints of the problem.Students who demonstrate understanding can: Generate and compare multiple possible solutions to a problem based on how well each is likely to meet the criteria and constraints of the problem.
05.SC.ED.ETS1-3Plan and carry out fair tests in which variables are controlled and failure points are considered to identify aspects of a model or prototype that can be improved.Students who demonstrate understanding can: Plan and carry out fair tests in which variables are controlled and failure points are considered to identify aspects of a model or prototype that can be improved.
05.SC.ES - Earth's Systems
05.SC.ES.ESS2-1Develop a model using an example to describe ways the geosphere, biosphere, hydrosphere (water), cryosphere (ice), and/or atmosphere interact.Clarification Statement: Examples could include the influence of the ocean on ecosystems, landform shape, and climate; the influence of the atmosphere on landforms and ecosystems through weather and climate; and the influence of mountain ranges on winds and clouds in the atmosphere. The geosphere, hydrosphere, cryosphere, atmosphere, and biosphere are each a system.
05.SC.ES.ESS2-2Describe and graph the amounts of salt water and fresh water in various reservoirs to provide evidence about the distribution of water on Earth.Clarification Statement: Examples could include lakes, rivers, glaciers, sea ice, oceans, groundwater, and polar ice caps. Represent and interpret the data represented by the graphical displays.

“|05.SC.ES.ESS3-1|Obtain and combine information about ways individual communities use science ideas to protect the Earth’s resources and environment.|Students who demonstrate understanding can: Obtain and combine information about ways individual communities use science ideas to protect the Earth’s resources and environment.|”

05.SC.SPM - Structure and Properties of Matter
05.SC.SPM.PS1-1Develop and use a model to describe that matter is made of particles too small to be seen.Clarification Statement: Examples of evidence supporting a model could include adding air to expand a basketball, compressing air in a syringe, dissolving sugar in water, and evaporating salt water.
05.SC.SPM.PS1-2Measure 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.Clarification Statement: Examples of reactions or changes could include phase changes, dissolving, and mixing that form new substances.
05.SC.SPM.PS1-3Make observations and measurements to identify materials based on their properties.Clarification Statement: Examples of materials to be identified could include baking soda and other powders, metals, minerals, and liquids. Examples of properties could include color, hardness, reflectivity, electrical conductivity, thermal conductivity, response to magnetic forces, and solubility; density is not intended as an identifiable property.
05.SC.SPM.PS1-4Conduct an investigation to determine whether the mixing of two or more substances results in new substances.Clarifying Statement: Share finding from the investigation.
05.SC.SS - Space Systems: Stars and the Solar System
05.SC.SS.ESS1-1Support an argument that differences in the apparent brightness of the sun compared to other stars is due to their relative distances from the Earth.Students who demonstrate understanding can: Support an argument that differences in the apparent brightness of the sun compared to other stars is due to their relative distances from the Earth.
05.SC.SS.ESS1-2Represent data in graphical displays to reveal patterns of daily changes in length and direction of shadows, day and night, daily appearance of the moon, and the seasonal appearance of some stars in the night sky.Clarification Statement: Examples of patterns could include the position and motion of Earth with respect to the sun and selected stars that are visible only in particular months.
05.SC.SS.PS2-1Support an argument that the gravitational force exerted by Earth on objects is directed toward the center of the Earth.Clarification Statement: “Down” is a local description of the direction that points toward the center of the spherical Earth.
