5th Grade at Ballentine Elementary School
QUARTER ONE:
Matter and Its Interactions
PS.5.1 Understand the interactions of matter and energy and the changes that occur.
PS 5.1.1 Carry out investigations to compare the weight of objects before and after an interaction.
PS 5.1.2 Carry out investigations to explain whether the mixing of two or more substances results in new substances.
PS 5.1.3 Carry out investigations to compare how heating and cooling affect some materials and how this relates to their purpose and practical applications.
Essential Vocabularysubstance, interaction, evidence, properties, weight, conservation, vanish, dissolve, variables, physical change, chemical change, mass, quantitative and qualitative data, insulators, conductors, heating, cooling, expand, contract

QUARTER TWO
Motion and Stability
PS.5.2 Understand force, motion, and the relationship between them
PS.5.2.1 Carry out investigations to explain how factors such as
gravity, friction, and change in mass affect the motion of objects.
PS.5.2.2 Use mathematics and computational thinking to infer
the motion of an object (including position, direction, and speed).
Essential Vocabulary
gravity, friction, mass, motion, force, increasing, decreasing, speed, direction, position, cardinal directions
