NCES.5.P: : Forces and Motion

NCES.5.P.1: : Understand force, motion and the relationship between them.

NCES.5.P.1.1: : Explain how factors such as gravity, friction, and change in mass affect the motion of objects.

NCES.5.P.1.2: : Infer the motion of objects in terms of how far they travel in a certain amount of time and the direction in which they travel.

NCES.5.P.1.3: : Illustrate the motion of an object using a graph to show a change in position over a period of time.

NCES.5.P.1.4: : Predict the effect of a given force or a change in mass on the motion of an object.

NCES.5.P: : Matter: Properties and Change

NCES.5.P.2: : Understand the interactions of matter and energy and the changes that occur.

NCES.5.P.2.1: : Explain how the sun’s energy impacts the processes of the water cycle (including, evaporation, transpiration, condensation, precipitation and runoff).

NCES.5.P.2.3: : Summarize properties of original materials, and the new material(s) formed, to demonstrate that a change has occurred.

NCES.5.P: : Energy: Conservation and Transfer

NCES.5.P.3: : Explain how the properties of some materials change as a result of heating and cooling.

NCES.5.P.3.1: : Explain the effects of the transfer of heat (either by direct contact or at a distance) that occurs between objects at different temperatures. (conduction, convection or radiation).

NCES.5.P.3.2: : Explain how heating and cooling affect some materials and how this relates to their purpose and practical applications.

NCES.5.E: : Earth Systems, Structures and Processes

NCES.5.E.1: : Understand weather patterns and phenomena, making connections to the weather in a particular place and time.

NCES.5.E.1.1: : Compare daily and seasonal changes in weather conditions (including wind speed and direction, precipitation, and temperature) and patterns.

NCES.5.E.1.2: : Predict upcoming weather events from weather data collected through observation and measurements.

NCES.5.L: : Structures and Functions of Living Organisms

NCES.5.L.1: : Understand how structures and systems of organisms (to include the human body) perform functions necessary for life.

NCES.5.L.1.2: : Compare the major systems of the human body (digestive, respiratory, circulatory, muscular, skeletal, and cardiovascular) in terms of their functions necessary for life.

NCES.5.L: : Ecosystems

NCES.5.L.2: : Understand the interdependence of plants and animals with their ecosystem.

NCES.5.L.2.2: : Classify the organisms within an ecosystem according to the function they serve: producers, consumers, or decomposers (biotic factors).

NCES.5.L.2.3: : Infer the effects that may result from the interconnected relationship of plants and animals to their ecosystem.

NCES.5.L: : Evolution and Genetics

NCES.5.L.3: : Understand why organisms differ from or are similar to their parents based on the characteristics of the organism.

NCES.5.L.3.1: : Explain why organisms differ from or are similar to their parents based on the characteristics of the organism.

NCES.5.L.3.2: : Give examples of likenesses that are inherited and some that are not.
