Matter and Its Interactions

Performance Expectations

The performance expectations in fifth grade help students formulate answers to questions such as:

  • When matter changes, does its weight change?
  • How much water can be found in different places on Earth?
  • Can new substances be created by combining other substances?
  • How does matter cycle through ecosystems?
  • Where does the energy in food come from and what is it used for?
  • How do lengths and directions of shadows or relative lengths of day and night change from day to day, and how does the appearance of some stars change in different seasons?

Students are able to describe that matter is made of particles too small to be seen through the development of a model. Students develop an understanding of the idea that regardless of the type of change that matter undergoes, the total weight of matter is conserved. Students determine whether the mixing of two or more substances results in new substances. Through the development of a model using an example, students are able to describe ways the geosphere, biosphere, hydrosphere, and/or atmosphere interact. They describe and graph data to provide evidence about the distribution of water on Earth. Students develop an understanding of the idea that plants get the materials they need for growth chiefly from air and water. Using models, students can describe the movement of matter among plants, animals, decomposers, and the environment and that energy in animals’ food was once energy from the sun. Students are expected to develop an understanding of patterns of daily changes in length and direction of shadows, day and night, and the seasonal appearance of some stars in the night sky.

Calculation Method for DCI

Disciplinary Core Ideas are larger groups of related Performance Expectations. So the Disciplinary Core Idea Grade is a calculation of all the related Performance Expectations. So click on the Performance Expectation name below each Disciplinary Core Idea to access the learning targets and proficiency scales for each Disciplinary Core Idea's related Performance Expectations.

[PS1] Matter and Its Interaction

SCI-05.PS1.03 Make observations and measurements to identify materials based on their properties.

Clarification Statement: Examples of materials to be identified could include baking soda and other powders, metals, minerals, and liquids. Examples of properties could include density, color, hardness, reflectivity, electrical conductivity, thermal conductivity, response to magnetic forces, and solubility.
Disciplinary Core Ideas
Measurements of a variety of properties can be used to identify materials. (Boundary: At this grade level no attempt is made to define the unseen particles or explain the atomicscale mechanism of evaporation and condensation.)

SCI-05.PS3.01

Physical Science Logo 5th Grade (SCI) Science Standards
[PS3] Energy

SCI-05.PS3.01 Use models to describe how energy from the sun is converted into food (used for body repair, growth, motion, and to maintain body warmth).

Clarification Statement: Examples of models could include and food webs, diagrams, and flow charts
Disciplinary Core Ideas
The energy released [from] food was once energy from the sun that was captured by plants in the chemical process that forms plant matter (from air and water). Organization for Matter and Energy Flow in Organisms: Food provides animals with the materials they need for body repair and growth and the energy they need to maintain body warmth and for motion.
