SCIENCE PRACTICE SITES

 1st Quarter

MICROSCOPES
S5L3.  Gather evidence by utilizing technology tools to support a claim that plants and animals are comprised of cells too small to be seen without magnification.

 CELLS
S5L3. Obtain, evaluate, and communicate information to compare and contrast the parts of plant and animal cells.http://www.harcourtschool.com/activity/science_up_close/510/deploy/interface.html



Practice Site:  CELLebrity Squares Game

2nd Quarter

MICROORGANISMS
S5L4. Obtain, evaluate, and communicate information about how microorganisms benefit or harm larger organisms.

CLASSIFICATION
S5L1. Obtain, evaluate, and communicate information to group organisms using scientific classification procedures. a. Develop a model that illustrates how animals are sorted into groups (vertebrate and invertebrate) and how vertebrates are sorted into groups (fish, amphibian, reptile, bird, and mammal) using data from multiple sources. b. Develop a model that illustrates how plants are sorted into groups (seed producers, non-seed producers) using data from multiple sources.

 GENETICS
S5L2. Obtain, evaluate, and communicate information showing that some characteristics of organisms are inherited and other characteristics are acquired. a. Ask questions to compare and contrast instincts and learned behaviors. b. Ask questions to compare and contrast inherited and acquired physical traits.

3rd Quarter

MATTER
S5P1. Obtain, evaluate, and communicate information to explain the differences between a physical change and a chemical change. a. Plan and carry out investigations of physical changes by manipulating, separating and mixing dry and liquid materials. b. Construct an argument based on observations to support a claim that the physical changes in the state of water are due to temperature changes, which cause small particles that cannot be seen to move differently. c. Plan and carry out an investigation to determine if a chemical change occurred based on observable evidence (color, gas, temperature change, odor, new substance produced).
Chemical Reactions versus Physical Change Game
Law of Conservation of Mass

ELECTRICITY
S5P2. Obtain, evaluate, and communicate information to investigate electricity. a. Obtain and combine information from multiple sources to explain the difference between naturally occurring electricity (static) and human-harnessed electricity. b. Design a complete, simple electric circuit, and explain all necessary components. c. Plan and carry out investigations on common materials to determine if they are insulators or conductors of electricity.
