These standards should be woven together with the life, physical, and earth science standards at the time the material is taught. This gives a larger pool of information and experiences for understanding their investigations. 4th grade-Investigation and Experimentation Scientific progress is made by asking meaningful questions and conducting careful investigations. As a basis for understanding this concept, and to address the content the other three strands, students should develop their own questions and perform investigations. 5th grade-Investigation and Experimentation 5.
Scientific progress is made by asking meaningful questions and conducting careful investigations.
Transfer of energy Motion and forces Observation, comparison, communication about, and organization of properties occurs throughout the year's investigations. Students create and observe exothermic reactions, describe a mixture that appears as both a solid and a liquid, and investigate the separation properties of pigments by chromatography. They create self propelled carts capable of traveling a set distance. Students explore and investigate the relationship between the motion, force, and momentum of small carts that they design and build. 5th Grade-Physical Sciences 1.
