Course Description

In unit one, students engage in an engineering challenge to develop habits of mind and classroom practices that will be reinforced throughout the school year. In unit two, students will analyze everyday systems and subsystems as well as analyze food chains and food webs as a way to study the biosphere. They will make and analyze a worm habitat as a decomposition system. Hands-on investigations include exploring the nutrient-getting systems of yeast, plants, and animals, including humans and model transport systems in plants and animals. In unit three, students engage in five investigations that introduce students to fundamental ideas about matter and its interactions. Students come to know that matter is made of particles too small to be seen and develop the understanding that matter is conserved when it changes state—from solid to liquid to gas—when it dissolves in another substance, and when it is part of a chemical reaction. Students have experiences with mixtures, solutions of different concentrations, and reactions forming new substances. They also engage in engineering experiences with separation of materials. In Unit four, students will focus on Earth’s place in the solar system and use models to build explanations regarding the movement of heavenly bodies. They will observe and compare shadows, analyze data observational data to discover the sequence of changes that occur during the Moon’s phase cycle. Students gain experiences that will contribute to the understanding of crosscutting concepts of patterns; cause and e ect; scale, proportion, and quantity; systems and system models; and energy and matter.

Unit Summary

Chemistry is the study of the structure of matter and the changes or transformations that take place within those structures. Learning

about the properties and behaviors of substances and systems of substances gives us knowledge about how things go together and how they can

be taken apart and gives us the opportunity to use and develop models that explain phenomena too small to see directly. Learning about changes

in substances can lead to the development of new materials and new ways to produce energy and resources such as clean drinking water.

This module has five investigations that introduce students to fundamental ideas about matter and its interactions. Students come to

know that matter is made of particles too small to be seen and develop the understanding that matter is conserved when it changes state—from

solid to liquid to gas—when it dissolves in another substance, and when it is part of a chemical reaction. Students have experiences with mixtures,

solutions of different concentrations, and reactions forming new substances. They also engage in engineering experiences with separation of

materials. Students gain experiences that will contribute to the understanding of crosscutting concepts of patterns; cause and effect; scale,

proportion, and quantity; systems and system models; and energy and matter.

This unit is based on 5-PS1-1, 5-PS1-2, 5-PS1-3, 5-PS1-4, 3-5-ETS1-1, 3-5-ETS1-1, 3-5-ETS1-2, 3-5-ETS1-3, 3-5-ETS1-4

Student Learning Objectives

Develop a model to describe that matter is made of particles too small to be seen. [Clarification Statement: Examples of evidence could include adding air to

expand a basketball, compressing air in a syringe, dissolving sugar in water, and evaporating salt water.] [Assessment Boundary: Assessment does not include

the atomicscale mechanism of evaporation and condensation or defining the unseen particles.] (5-PS1-1)

Measure and graph quantities to provide evidence that regardless of the type of change that occurs when heating, cooling, or mixing substances, the total

In this unit of study, students will use mathematical and computational thinking to understand the cause and effect relationship between physical

changes in matter and conservation of weight. Throughout the unit, students need multiple opportunities to observe and document changes in matter due to

physical changes, and to analyze data to explain changes that do or do not occur in the physical properties of matter.

Students begin by planning and conducting investigations to determine whether or not a new substance is made when two or more substances are

mixed. As they work with a variety of substances, they should:

❏ Measure, observe, and document physical properties (e.g., color, mass, volume, size, shape, hardness, reflectivity, conductivity, and response to

magnetic forces) of two or three substances.

❏ Mix the original substances.

❏ Measure, observe, and document the physical properties of the substance produced when the original substances are mixed.

❏ Compare data from the original substances to data from the substance produced, and determine what changes, if any, have occurred.

❏ Use observations and data as evidence to explain whether or not a new substance was produced, and to explain any changes that occurred when the

original substances were mixed.

With each set of substances that students investigate, it is important that they use balances to measure the mass of the original substances

and the mass of the substance made when the original substances are mixed. These data should be documented so that students can analyze the data.

As they compare the data, they should recognize that when two or more substances are mixed, the mass of the resulting substance equals the sum of

the masses of the original substances. In other words, the total mass is conserved. Students are not expected to understand density as a physical

property, and no attempt should be made to define unseen particles or explain the atomic-scale mechanism of evaporation and condensation.

Conservation of mass is a critical concept that is developed over time; therefore, students need multiple opportunities to investigate this phenomenon.

Students should measure the mass of each substance, document the data they collect in a table or chart, and use the data as evidence that regardless of

the changes that occur when mixing substances, the total weight of matter is conserved.

In addition to observing changes that occur when substances are mixed, students should also have opportunities to investigate other types

of physical changes. For example, students can observe changes in matter due to heating, cooling, melting, freezing, and/or dissolving. As before,

students should measure, observe, and document the physical properties of the substance before and after a physical change, and use the data as

evidence to explain any changes that occur. The data should also provide evidence that regardless of the type of change that matter undergoes, the mass

is conserved.

Although engineering design is not explicitly called out in this unit, students could incorporate engineering design in a number of ways as

they explore the particle nature of matter. Students can design ways/tools to measure a given physical property, such as hardness, reflectivity, electrical

or thermal conductivity, or response to magnetic forces. The engineering design process can be used to analyze students’ models using criteria. Then

students can improve their designs based on analysis.

Modifications

(Note: Teachers identify the modifications that they will use in the unit. See NGSS Appendix D: All Standards, All Students/Case Studies for vignettes and

explanations of the modifications.)

● Structure lessons around questions that are authentic, relate to students’ interests, social/family background and knowledge of their community.

● Provide students with multiple choices for how they can represent their understandings (e.g. multisensory techniques-auditory/visual aids; pictures,

illustrations, graphs, charts, data tables, multimedia, modeling).

● Provide opportunities for students to connect with people of similar backgrounds (e.g. conversations via digital tool such as SKYPE, experts from the

community helping with a project, journal articles, and biographies).

● Provide multiple grouping opportunities for students to share their ideas and to encourage work among various backgrounds and cultures (e.g. multiple

representation and multimodal experiences).

● Engage students with a variety of Science and Engineering practices to provide students with multiple entry points and multiple ways to demonstrate

their understandings.

● Use project-based science learning to connect science with observable phenomena.

● Structure the learning around explaining or solving a social or community-based issue.

● Provide ELL students with multiple literacy strategies.

● Collaborate with after-school programs or clubs to extend learning opportunities.

● Restructure lesson using UDL principals (http://www.cast.org/our-work/about-udl.html#.VXmoXcfD_UA).

Research on Student Learning

Student thinking about chemical change tends to be dominated by the obvious features of the change. For example, some students think that when something is

burned in a closed container, it will weigh more because they see the smoke that was produced. Further, many students do not view chemical changes as

interactions. They do not understand that substances can be formed by the recombination of atoms in the original substances. Rather, they see chemical change

as the result of a separate change in the original substance, or changes, each one separate, in several original substances. For example, some students see the

smoke formed when wood burns as having been driven out of the wood by the flame (NSDL, 2015).

Elementary school students may think everything that exists is matter, including heat, light, and electricity. Alternatively, they may believe that matter does not

include liquids and gases or that they are weightless materials (NSDL, 2015).

Prior Learning

● Grade 2 Unit 2: Properties of Matter • Different kinds of matter exist and many of them can be either solid or liquid, depending on temperature. Matter

can be described and classified by its observable properties. • Different properties are suited to different purposes. • A great variety of objects can be

built up from a small set of pieces.

Grade 2 Unit 3: Changes to Matter • A great variety of objects can be built up from a small set of pieces. • Heating or cooling a substance may cause

changes that can be observed. Sometimes these changes are reversible, and sometimes they are not.

Future Learning

● Grade 7 Unit 1: Structure and Properties of Matter

• Substances are made from different types of atoms, which combine with one another in various ways. Atoms form molecules that range in size from

Page 20: Grade Five Unit Four Mixtures and Solutions 5/Grade 5 Unit … · Grade Five Unit Four Mixtures and Solutions. 2 ... mixture includes a new mystery material, ... A mixture is two

20 | Page

two to thousands of atoms.

• Each pure substance has characteristic physical and chemical properties (for any bulk quantity under given conditions) that can be used to identify it.

● Grade 7 Unit 2: Interactions of Matter

• Gases and liquids are made of molecules or inert atoms that are moving about relative to each other.

• In a liquid, the molecules are constantly in contact with others; in a gas, they are widely spaced except when they happen to collide. In a solid, atoms

are closely spaced and may vibrate in position but do not change relative locations.

• Solids may be formed from molecules, or they may be extended structures with repeating subunits (e.g., crystals).

• The changes of state that occur with variations in temperature or pressure can be described and predicted using these models of matter.

• Substances react chemically in characteristic ways. In a chemical process, the atoms that make up the original substances are regrouped into different

molecules, and these new substances have different properties from those of the reactants.

• The total number of each type of atom is conserved, and thus the mass does not change.

• Some chemical reactions release energy, others store energy.

Interdisciplinary Connections

English Language/Arts:

Students can conduct short research projects, using both print and digital sources, to build their understanding of physical changes to matter. While reading,

they should take notes of relevant information, and summarize that information so that it can be used as evidence to explain the changes that occur as

substances are heated, cooled, dissolved, or mixed. When drawing evidence from texts to support analysis, reflection, and research, students should provide a

list of sources.

• Use appropriate tools in strategic ways when measuring physical properties of substances, such as weight or volume.

• Model with mathematics when organizing data into tables or charts, and using the data as evidence to explain changes that occur.

• Convert among different-sized standard measurement units within a given measurement system and use these conversions to explain changes that occur.
