Fifth Grade Science
Standard Set 3. Earth Sciences (Earth’s Water)
Water on Earth moves between the oceans and land
through the processes of evaporation and condensation.
3.e. – Students know the origin of the water
used by their local communities, i.e., their local
watershed.
Standard Set 4. Earth Sciences (Weather)
Energy from the Sun heats Earth unevenly, causing air
movements that results in changing weather patterns.
4.b. – Students know the influence that the
ocean has on the weather and the role that the water
cycle plays in weather patterns.
Standard Set 6. Investigation and Experimentation
Asking meaningful questions and conducting careful
investigations make scientific progress.
6.g. – Record data by using appropriate graphic
representations (including charts, graphs, and labeled diagrams) and make
inferences based on the data.
6.h. – Draw conclusions from scientific evidence
and indicate whether further information is needed to support a specific
conclusion.
Sixth Grade Science
Standard Set 2. Shaping Earth’s Surface
Topography is reshaped by the weathering or rock and
soil and by the transportation and deposition of
sediment.
2.a. – Student know water running downhill is
the dominant process in shaping the landscape,
including California’s landscape.
2.d. – Students know earthquakes, volcanic
eruptions, landslides, and floods change human and
wildlife habitats.
Standard Set 4. Energy in the Earth System
The transfer of energy through radiation and
convection currents affects many phenomena on Earth’s
surface.
4.a. – Students know the sun is the major
source of energy on the Earth’s surface; it powers
winds, ocean currents, and the water cycle.
Standard Set 5. Ecology (Life Sciences)
Organisms in ecosystems exchange energy and nutrient
among themselves and with the environment.
5.d. – Student know different kinds of organisms
may play similar ecological roles in similar biomes.
5.e. – Students know the number and types of
organisms an ecosystem can support depend on the resources available and
on abiotic factors, such as quantities of light and
water, a range of temperatures, and soil
composition.
Standard Set 7. Investigation and Experimentation
Scientific progress is made by asking meaningful
questions and conducting careful investigations.
7.f. – Read a topographic map and a geologic map
for evidence provided on the maps and construct and interpret a simple
scale map.
