MC5.1: : Investigate the characteristics and physical properties of materials in solid, liquid, and gaseous states of matter.

MC5.1.h: : Measure the temperature, volume, and mass of materials using appropriate instruments (e.g., digital thermometer, ruler, tape measure, graduated cylinder, measuring cup, single-pan balance, and electronic scale) and standard units (e.g., degrees Celsius, cubic cm, ml, and kg).

MC5.1.i: : Explain how some characteristics and physical properties, such as melting point, boiling point, buoyancy, and solubility, help to distinguish materials from one another.

MC5.2: : Investigate how reversible and non-reversible changes, including changes of state, alter materials.

MC5.2.b: : Demonstrate changes (e.g., cutting aluminium foil, forming clay, breaking wood, and crumpling paper) that can be made to an object without changing the properties of the material making up the object.

MC5.2.c: : Explore how characteristics and physical properties of materials may change when they interact with one another.

MC5.2.n: : Develop conclusions about the effects of reversible and nonreversible changes on the characteristics and physical properties of materials.

MC5.3: : Assess how the production, use, and disposal of raw materials and manufactured products affects self, society, and the environment.

MC5.3.c: : Research a product to determine the raw materials from which it is made and the process required to turn the raw materials into a manufactured product.

FM: : Physical Science: Forces and Simple Machines

FM5.1: : Analyze the effects of gravitational, magnetic, and mechanical forces, including friction, on the movement of objects.

FM5.1.b: : Describe how forces can act directly or from a distance to cause objects to start to move, speed up, slow down, change direction, or stop moving.

FM5.1.f: : Record qualitative observations and quantitative measurements about the effects of non-contact (i.e., gravitational and magnetic) forces which act from a distance to cause objects to move, change direction, or stay in place.

FM5.1.i: : Conduct a fair test to compare the effects of friction on the movement of objects over a variety of surfaces (e.g., wood, cloth, floor tile, carpet, tabletop, sidewalk, and grass).

FM5.1.k: : Measure forces in standard units (e.g., Newton) using a spring scale or a force sensor.

FM5.1.l: : Collect and graph quantitative data to compare the mass and gravitational force acting on various objects.

FM5.1.m: : Evaluate methods used to investigate the effects of contact and non-contact forces on the movement of objects, including identifying and suggesting explanations for discrepancies in collected data.

FM5.2: : Investigate characteristics of simple machines, including levers, wheels and axles, pulleys, inclined planes, screws, and wedges, for moving and lifting loads.

FM5.2.b: : Demonstrate how simple machines (e.g., hammer, screwdriver, pliers, bottle opener, ramp, splitting wedges, and scissors) act to reduce effort, increase the distance a load moves, and/or change the direction of an applied force.

FM5.2.f: : Determine the relationship between the applied force and the distance the load is moved for each class of lever.

FM5.2.g: : Compare the operation of wheel and axle mechanisms (e.g., Ferris wheel, bicycle wheel, rolling pin, in-line skate, windmill, and door knob) with the operation of levers.

FM5.2.i: : Investigate the relationship between the amount of applied force and the distance that the load is moved in single and multiple pulley systems, including determining the mechanical advantage of the system.

FM5.2.j: : Explain the operating principles of an inclined plane, such as a ramp or ladder, with reference to the applied load and the distance that the load is moved.

FM5.3: : Assess how natural and man-made forces and simple machines affect individuals, society, and the environment.

FM5.3.a: : Provide examples of simple and complex machines used at home, in school, and throughout their community.

FM5.3.e: : Suggest how the function of common simple mechanisms, such as a crowbar, wheelbarrow, elbow joint, fork, rake, baseball bat, can opener, stapler, or scissors, might be different had they been based on a different class of lever.

FM5.3.i: : Research the use of inclined planes and other simple machines used to construct structures such as pyramids, Stonehenge, Easter Island moai, tipis, inukshuks, and totem poles.

WE: : Earth and Space Science: Weather

WE5.1: : Measure and represent local weather, including temperature, wind speed and direction, amount of sunlight, precipitation, relative humidity, and cloud cover.

WE5.1.j: : Analyze patterns and discrepancies in weather data for a given location over a specified time interval.

WE5.2: : Investigate local, national, and global weather conditions, including the role of air movement and solar energy transfer.

WE5.2.f: : Develop simple conclusions about the relationship between the amount of energy absorbed by a material and the nature of the material.

WE5.2.l: : Predict patterns in local, regional, and global weather over a given time frame (e.g., a day, a week, a month, and a year).

WE5.2.m: : Suggest explanations for patterns or discrepancies between predictions of weather patterns and actual data for a given location during a given time interval.

WE5.2.n: : Identify examples of local, national, and global weather phenomena that Canadian scientists are currently studying (e.g., UV protection, wind chill, ozone layer, seasonal snow cover, and temperature trends).

WE5.3: : Analyze the impact of weather on society and the environment, including technologies that help humans address weather conditions.

WE5.3.d: : Research effects of short- and long-term changes in weather on the lives and livelihoods of people locally, nationally, and globally.
