What educators are saying
Description
This curriculum includes 4 full units of study (One Full School Year) that cover the 5th Grade Next Generation Science Standards. This Curriculum includes slideshow road maps that delivers a truly interactive science experience. Students follow the slideshow with a printed or digital work bundle that chronologically follows daily lessons. As the teacher advances through the slideshow, students fill-in critical class notes (red colored slides), answer questions, complete diagrams, take built-in quizzes, and much more. Exciting activities are spread throughout, and visuals in the slideshow and work bundle make the entire activity run smoothly. Lesson planning becomes staying ahead of the class with a simple materials list. Activities use materials that are usually available in your home/school or easily gathered from a local store. The slideshows and work bundle are designed to work together, and keeps the learning organized. Students quickly learn how the lessons run and fall into a productive routine. Besides the meaningful activities, units have built-in quizzes, review games / assessments, amazing video links, step by step diagrams, graphing exercises, fun projects, answer keys, crosswords, flashcards, find the Owl, rubrics, self-reflection, and much more. Everything you will ever need to run an amazing year of science is included. The entire curriculum arrives in editable .doc or pptx. and updated every year on TpT. This curriculum contains 119 lessons of about 50 minutes (with projects that take additional time), and over 200 pages of corresponding work bundle. The layout of slides, highly visual mode of learning, color coding of text, one step at a time approach, and a constant built-in review keeps the students focused and motivated to excel. The students even find the end of the Part Assessment / Review Game a ton of fun. The corresponding visuals between the slideshow and work bundle allow the student to know exactly where they need to be. It's a low stress, but highly organized learning experience for everyone, and one that will engage your brightest, and struggling students alike. Every lesson and work bundle can easily be converted to a Google slideshow or Google .doc for remote learning or a student run learning experience.

Part 1 Matter and Its Interactions NGSS
NGSS Matter and Its Interactions Unit
Part 1 (26 Lessons with 2 work bundles of 11 pages and 22 pages) Matter and Its Interactions includes a two part 1,000 slide Interactive PowerPoint Presentation full of exciting hands-on activities with instructions, critical notes, video links, questions, and much more. Two 150 slide review games concludes this part of the lesson bundle. The activities are easy to run and effective. Students learn about the law conservation of matter with Alka-Seltzer and balloons, explore chemical reactions with vinegar and chalk, some physical properties of water with fun hands-on activities that simple and effect. They also learn Density through studying soda cans and through other activities and demonstrations. A really fun project at the end has your students invent a new brand of soda for scientists. All activities are deigned to be taught on a budget and materials can purchased at your local stores. Most of materials you will have in your home.
5PS1-1 Develop a model to describe that matter is made of particles that are very small and can’t be seen.
5PS1-2 Measure and graph quantities to show evidence that the type of change that occurs when heating, cooling, or mixing substances, the total weight of matter is conserved.
5PS1-3 Make observations and record measurements to identify materials based on their properties.
5PS1-4 Conduct an investigation with the mixing of two or more substances that will results in new substances.
3.5ETS1-3 Create a fair test with variables that are controlled.
Part 2 Matter and Energy in Organisms and Ecosystems, From Molecules to Organisms: Structures and Processes, Energy NGSS
NGSS Matter and Energy In Organisms and Ecosystems Unit
Part 2 (21 Lessons with 3 work bundles of 11 pages, 10 pages, 9 pages) covers standards associated with Ecosystems, Interactions, Energy, and Dynamics. This includes a three part 1,500 slide Interactive PowerPoint full of exciting hands-on activities with instructions, critical notes, video links, questions, and much more. Work Bundles include fill-in notes and chronologically follows the entire slideshow. Three review games conclude part for a fantastic review and assessment. In Part 2 (A) Students learn important of vocabulary / NGSS standards and then put their skills to work in outside simulations. These easy to run simulations help reinforce ideas and always a lot of fun. Part 2 (B) explores the flow of energy through the ecosystem with step by drawings, questions, videos, and more. Review games conclude each part for a fantastic review and assessment
5.PS3-1 Use models to describe that energy in animals’ food (used for body repair, growth, motion, and to maintain body warmth) was once energy from the sun.
5.LS1-1 Describe that plants get the materials they need for growth chiefly from air and water.
5.LS2-1 Develop a model to describe the movement of matter among plants, animals, decomposers, and the environment. Air, water, decomposed materials in soil is changed by plants into matter that is food.
5.ESS2-1 Show with examples ways the geosphere, biosphere, hydrosphere, and/or atmosphere interact.
Part 3 Earth’s Systems, Earth and Human Activity NGSS
Part 3 (3 Parts with 28 lessons, 3 work bundles of 15, 21, and 26 pages) Addresses Earth Systems and Human Activity such as the Biosphere and Geosphere and how the two are interconnected. It also investigates the abundance and distribution of fresh water on the planet. Students This includes a three part 2,000 slide Interactive PowerPoint full of exciting hands-on activities with instructions, critical notes, video links, questions, and much more. The three work bundles include important fill-in notes and chronologically follow the entire slideshow. The activities are easy to run and effective. In Part 3 (A) Students learn about the levels of biological organization and life spheres such as the biosphere and geosphere. They get to see how these spheres are interconnected. Many visuals and the easy to follow along work bundle make learning these challenging concepts easy. The outdoor simulations help reinforce ideas and are always a lot of fun. Part 3 (B) examines the distribution of water on planet earth. A neat activity has the teacher break down where earth's water is located from a 5 gallon bucket. It's amazing when the students see that only a fraction of a drop of water from the bucket is usable freshwater. This part also explores drought, groundwater, and groundwater pollution. Readings, graphing and more are included. Part 3 (C), continues to explores earth's waters, and includes a fantastic project that has your students learn about hydroelectric dams and human activity. A company is planning on damming a local river and students are assigned roles within the town. Each students researches, writes a short persuasive speech, creates their character, and dresses up for the town meeting. Amazing visuals, readings, and fun activities make this one a student favorite. Review games conclude each Part for a fantastic review and assessment opportunity.
5.ESS2-2 Show and graph the amounts and percentages of available water and where it is distributed on earth.
5.ESS3-1 Research and discuss in a group about ways individual communities use science ideas to protect the Earth’s resources and environment.
