Do all science investigations follow the
exact steps of the scientific method? not
really - modern scientists find the
traditional method too linear and
frequently back-track forming new
predictions and tests before gathering the
data they need to confirm their results.

What is a mixture? two or more
substances physically combined together
without forming any new substances (if
the combination did form a new
substance, it would be called a
compound)
How can a mixture be separated? each
substance in a mixture keeps its own
physical and chemical properties, so their
properties can be used to separate the
mixture relatively easily back into each
substance by sifting larger substances
from smaller ones, filtering solid
substances from liquid ones, separating
iron substances from non-magnetic
substances using a magnet, by dissolving a
substance in water then evaporating the
water

Investigate and

changes are affected
by temperature. AA

Also assesses
SC.3.P.9.1 and
SC.4.P.9.1.

55 What is heat? heat is the energy of the
moving particles in matter

What is temperature? temperature is the
average speed of the motion of the
particles in matter as measured by a
thermometer

How can heating a substance change it's
physical properties? as a substance is
heated the particles that make up the
matter in the substance move faster,
increasing the temperature until the
matter physically changes from one state
(phase) of matter to another (i.e., solid to
liquid, liquid to gas). Because most
substances can exist in all three states of
matter, adding heat melts solids into
liquid and liquids boil into gas If the
original physical and chemical properties
stay the same, only a physical change has
occurred.

How can heating a substance change it
chemically? Sometimes adding heat to
one or more substances will change them
into a something new with different

SC.4.P.10.1, and
SC.4.P.10.3.

56 - 57 What are some common forms of energy?
light - a form of energy that travels in long
and very short waves; some waves (long)
are visible to humans and others (short)
are not visible. Common sources of light
energy include a candle, light bulb, fire,
and the Sun. No matter what the source,
light always travels in a straight line (ray)
in all directions from the source. Many
sources of visible light also include heat
(thermal energy) see SC.5.P.9.1. Sound is
a form of wave energy produced by
vibrating objects. Sound waves need a
medium (matter) to travel through. Larger
vibrations cause loud sound, smaller
vibrations cause soft sounds. The type of
medium sound travels through changes
how fast it travels. The pitch of a sound is
how high or low its tone sounds. Electrical
energy is the flow of charged particles
from one place to another. Static
electricity is the build-up of electric
charges on an object, i.e. a balloon near

Different forms of energy can produce
forces (vibrations, flowing particles, build-
up of charges) that cause pushes and pulls
and motion, i.e. magnets attract iron and
repel other magnets, a vibrating tuning
fork splashes water, a comb attracts
pieces of paper, etc.

How can energy create change? Different
forms of energy such as heat, light,
chemical and mechanical can create
chemical and physical changes (camp fire -

Identify familiar forces

Also assesses
SC.3.E.5.4 and
SC.4.P.8.4.

61 - 62 What causes an object to move? If the
forces are unbalanced in strength (have a
'net force' other than zero) then the
object must be moving in the direction of
the stronger force pushing or pulling on it.

Why do most objects fall to the ground?
Gravity is an invisible force created by the
Earth's mass. Because the Earth is more
massive than most other objects, they are
pulled toward Earth (one exception might
be a 'helium balloon' - helium gas has less
mass than air, a mixture of nitrogen &
oxygen gases, so the air pushes the
helium balloon up, away from Earth).

pairs, opposite in direction to each other.
If one force is greater in strength than the
other force acting on an object, the object
will move in the direction of the greater
force. The greater the force, the faster the
the object will move and/or change
direction.

Recognize the major
common
characteristics of all
planets and
compare/contrast the
properties of inner
and outer planets.

Assessed as
SC.5.E.5.3.

38 - 39 What are the "inner planets"? the inner
planets are closer to the Sun and include
Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars. They
are "terrestrial" (Earth-like) with rocky
surfaces, solid cores (centers) and
cratered surfaces. Venus, Earth and Mars
have atmospheres so their surface
experiences weather and erosion. Earth
and Mars have moons (Earth-1/Mars-2)

What are the "outer planets"? the outer
planets Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and
Neptune are "gas giants" much larger than
all the inner planets and further away
from the Sun. Their surface is made of a
kind of slush (not solid) that forms their
gaseous atmospheres. Evidence also
suggests they have a solid core (mostly
iron). All outer planets have lots of moons
(10 or more each).

What about Pluto? Pluto is classified as a
dwarf planet (planetoid) not a terrestrial
or a gas giant. It is smaller than all the
other planets with a surface made of
frozen gas. Pluto has a large moon (close

Asteroids DO NOT have an atmosphere.

What are meteoroids? small space rocks
that orbit the Sun (outside of the asteroid
belt). Sometimes they enter the Earth's
atmosphere and burn-up causing a streak
of light in the sky called a meteor. If a
meteor hit the Earth's surface it is called a

temperatures and air pressure.

What is air temperature, how is it
measured, and what does it tell us about
the weather? Air temperature is the
amount of heat in the atmosphere as
measured by a thermometer. When the
air gets warmer it can hold more moisture
(water vapor); as it gets colder it holds
less moisture.

What is air pressure, how it is measured
and what does it tell us about the
weather? Air pressure is the weight of the
air pressing down on everything around it
as measured by a barometer. A move to
lower air pressure means more
precipitation, i.e. rain/stormy; a move to
higher air pressure means clearing
weather, i.e. fair/dry

What conditions affect air pressure? 1)
Water vapor - air that is more moist has a
lower air pressure; dryer air has a higher
air pressure. 2) Air temperature - as air
gets warmer, the air pressure goes down;
as air gets colder the air pressure goes up.

3) Altitude - air at higher altitudes is
thinner and more spread out, so as the
altitude gets higher, the air pressure goes
down.

What is wind, how does it move, how is
wind speed measured, and what does it
tell us about the weather? Wind is moving
air. Air moves because Earth's surface is
heated unevenly (the land heats up faster,
water slower). The wind's speed is
measured using an anemometer (the
wind pushes against cups spinning the
anemometer around; the faster the wind
is blowing the faster it spins). The wind
pushes cold and hot air masses together
causing storm fronts (changes in the
weather).

How is wind direction shown and what
does it tell us about the weather? The
wind's direction is shown by a wind vane.
Arrows point to the direction the wind is
coming from, i.e. an arrow pointing north
means the wind is moving from the north
to the south. Wind direction tells us
where a storm may come or go next.

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.

Assessed as SC.5.E.7.3

48 - 50 What is precipitation and how is it
measured? Precipitation is water that falls
to the Earth's surface as rain, snow, sleet,
or hail. Rainfall is measured with a rain
gauge (a clear container with marks
showing centimeters/inches).

What are the different forms of
precipitation and what determines the
type of precipitation in a weather
forecast? rain - liquid water, snow - ice
crystals, sleet - frozen rain, hail - ice balls.
Air temperature, as measured by a
thermometer, determines the type of
precipitation (rain, sleet, hail or snow) in a
particular place and time. As the air
temperature falls below 0o
C (32o
F) the
forecast changes form rain to sleet or
snow. Hail forms in freezing temperatures
higher in the atmosphere and falls to the
surface as balls of ice.

three basic climate zones on Earth are
tropical (warm/wet or dry), temperate
(cool/seasons), and polar (cold/dry).

How do weather-related conditions
change from one place to another (i.e.
swamp to desert to mountain)? Different
environments in different climates have
different weather-related conditions
depending on the temperature and
annual precipitation, i.e. swamps in a
tropical climate change from wet (rain) to
dry seasonally but stay warm year round
where as swamps in temperate climates
are cooler and wetter (rain) year round.
Deserts in tropical climates are dry year
round, have very little rainfall but change
from warm to very hot seasonally where
as deserts in polar climates are drier (less
rain) and much colder (dry snow).
Temperate mountains are cooler,
experience four seasons ranging from wet
(rain) to dry and warm to cold (snow)
where as polar mountains are much
colder (snow) and drier year round.

(temperature and

different climate zones
as they relate to
latitude, elevation, and
proximity to bodies of
water.

Assessed as SC.5.E.7.3.

48 - 50 What causes the climate zones and the
differences in weather within different
zones? Earth's tilt on its axis is mainly
responsible for the climate zones, i.e. in
December the North Pole is tilted away
from the Sun.

What else can affect the weather in
different climate zones? The available
sunlight at different latitudes isn't the only
thing that affects the weather in different
climate zones. Elevation and bodies of
water can also influence the weather
within these regions. Because elevation
affects the air pressure, it changes the
amount of moisture the air can hold and
depending on the temperature can
change the amount of local precipitation.
Likewise any local body of water can
change the amount of moisture that can
be recycled (evaporation, condensation
and precipitation) into the region
depending on the temperature.

numbers.

What is a trait? A physical characteristic
or condition passed by genes (DNA
segments) from parent to offspring. Some
traits are observable (dominant), others
are not (recessive).

What is a behavior? An activity or action
that generally helps an organism survive
in its environment. Many behaviors are
learned from experience over a lifetime;
others are innate (inborn, or coded for in
the genes) like animal survival instincts.

How can traits help organisms survive?
Traits determine an organisms body type
and structures, i.e. scales or fur, hooves or
claws, legs or fins, teeth or beak, eggs or
live-birth, flowers or cones, leaves or
needles. In most cases these body
structures help the organism compete
with other organisms in the same habitat.

What is extinction? Extinction is when
every individual members of a species
(same kind of organism) is dead.
Extinctions occur when living things
cannot adapt to sudden and/or severe
changes in their environment.

What are limiting factors? For any
population (group of similar organisms) to
survive, there must be enough air, food,
water, and living space for them to grow
and reproduce. These basic resources are
called 'limiting factors' because their
availability limits how many organisms can
live in an ecosystem.
