This correlation lists the recommended Gizmos for this state's curriculum standards. Click any Gizmo title below for more information.

SC.5.E: : Earth and Space Science

SC.5.E.5: : Humans continue to explore Earth's place in space. Gravity and energy influence the formation of galaxies, including our own Milky Way Galaxy, stars, the Solar System, and Earth. Humankind's need to explore continues to lead to the development of knowledge and understanding of our Solar System.

SC.5.E.5.2: : Recognize the major common characteristics of all planets and compare/contrast the properties of inner and outer planets.

SC.5.E.5.3: : Distinguish among the following objects of the Solar System -- Sun, planets, moons, asteroids, comets -- and identify Earth's position in it.

SC.5.E.7: : Humans continue to explore the interactions among water, air, and land. Air and water are in constant motion that results in changing conditions that can be observed over time.

SC.5.E.7.1: : Create a model to explain the parts of the water cycle. Water can be a gas, a liquid, or a solid and can go back and forth from one state to another.

SC.5.E.7.2: : Recognize that the ocean is an integral part of the water cycle and is connected to all of Earth's water reservoirs via evaporation and precipitation processes.

SC.5.E.7.3: : Recognize how air temperature, barometric pressure, humidity, wind speed and direction, and precipitation determine the weather in a particular place and time.

SC.5.E.7.4: : Distinguish among the various forms of precipitation (rain, snow, sleet, and hail), making connections to the weather in a particular place and time.

SC.5.E.7.5: : Recognize that some of the weather-related differences, such as temperature and humidity, are found among different environments, such as swamps, deserts, and mountains.

SC.5.E.7.6: : Describe characteristics (temperature and precipitation) of different climate zones as they relate to latitude, elevation, and proximity to bodies of water.

SC.5.L: : Life Science

SC.5.L.14: : Organization and Development of Living Organisms

SC.5.L.14.1: : Identify the organs in the human body and describe their functions, including the skin, brain, heart, lungs, stomach, liver, intestines, pancreas, muscles and skeleton, reproductive organs, kidneys, bladder, and sensory organs.

SC.5.L.15: : Diversity and Evolution of Living Organisms

SC.5.L.15.1: : Describe how, when the environment changes, differences between individuals allow some plants and animals to survive and reproduce while others die or move to new locations.

SC.5.L.17: : Interdependence

SC.5.L.17.1: : Compare and contrast adaptations displayed by animals and plants that enable them to survive in different environments such as life cycles variations, animal behaviors and physical characteristics.

SC.5.N: : Nature of Science

SC.5.N.1: : The Practice of Science

SC.5.N.1.1: : Define a problem, use appropriate reference materials to support scientific understanding, plan and carry out scientific investigations of various types such as: systematic observations, experiments requiring the identification of variables, collecting and organizing data, interpreting data in charts, tables, and graphics, analyze information, make predictions, and defend conclusions.

SC.5.N.1.4: : Identify a control group and explain its importance in an experiment.

SC.5.P: : Physical Science

SC.5.P.8: : Properties of Matter

SC.5.P.8.1: : Compare and contrast the basic properties of solids, liquids, and gases, such as mass, volume, color, texture, and temperature.

SC.5.P.9: : Changes in Matter

SC.5.P.9.1: : Investigate and describe that many physical and chemical changes are affected by temperature.

SC.5.P.10: : Forms of Energy

SC.5.P.10.1: : Investigate and describe some basic forms of energy, including light, heat, sound, electrical, chemical, and mechanical.

SC.5.P.10.2: : Investigate and explain that energy has the ability to cause motion or create change.

SC.5.P.10.3: : Investigate and explain that an electrically-charged object can attract an uncharged object and can either attract or repel another charged object without any contact between the objects.

SC.5.P.10.4: : Investigate and explain that electrical energy can be transformed into heat, light, and sound energy, as well as the energy of motion.

SC.5.P.11: : Energy Transfer and Transformations

SC.5.P.11.1: : Investigate and illustrate the fact that the flow of electricity requires a closed circuit (a complete loop).

SC.5.P.11.2: : Identify and classify materials that conduct electricity and materials that do not.

SC.5.P.13: : Forces and Changes in Motion

SC.5.P.13.1: : Identify familiar forces that cause objects to move, such as pushes or pulls, including gravity acting on falling objects.

SC.5.P.13.2: : Investigate and describe that the greater the force applied to it, the greater the change in motion of a given object.

SC.5.P.13.3: : Investigate and describe that the more mass an object has, the less effect a given force will have on the object's motion.
