Activity 5: States of Matter Foldable Students create a foldable to help review vocabulary from the mini unit
Word Wall Cards and Games
Assessment and Key
Activity 1: The Properties Game This first activity is a game to help develop a conceptual understanding of what a property is in reference to matter.
Activity 2: Separating Mixtures In this activity, students use unique properties of different objects to separate a mixture. Math is integrated into this lesson using mass and percentage. (A detailed lesson plan and student activity sheets are included.)
Activity 3: Investigating Volume Students investigate finding the volume of irregular shaped objects using displacement.
Activity 4: Students investigate the density of different fruits.
Activity 5: Density Columns Students explore the density of different liquids and create a density column.
Word Wall Cards and Games
Assessment and Key
•Activity 1: White Powder Investigation This first activity allows students to investigate how a substance can change in size and shape, but retain it’s properties.
•Activity 2: Physical Change Foldable This foldable summarizes the different types of changes that do not change the chemical make up of something. Categories help students solidify this concept.
•Activity 3: Film Canister Rockets In this highly engaging activity, students create a simple chemical reaction inside a film canister rocket and watch as it blasts off. The idea of variables is introduced as students experiment to make their rocket go the highest.
•Activity 4: Chemistry in a Bag This exciting and efficient experiment lets students investigate common indicators of chemical change such as heat change, color change, and gas production. All this in the confines of a Ziploc bag!
•Activity 5: What Happens to the Mass Students experiment with a chemical reactions to conclude that mass is conserved in reactions.
•Activity 6: Pop it Up Students continue their investigation into the conservation of mass.

Unit 6: Introduction to Engineering
This introduction to engineering includes an editable PowerPoint with notes as well as 3 engineering activities. Students will be introduced to Engineering and the Engineering Design Process. They will then have 3 opportunities to engage in the process. Easily accessible materials makes this very doable in your classroom.
In addition to the 14 slide PowerPoint, the activities include:
Activity 1: Float Your Boat: Students go through the engineering design process to create a boat. Once the boat successfully floats, they place marbles in it to see how many it can hold.
Activity 2: Build A Bridge: Students go through the engineering design process to build a bridge. After the bridge is built, they test it to see how many pennies it can hold.
Activity 3: Keep it Cold: This engaging activity challenges students to create a container to keep an ice cube frozen for as long as possible. This could easily be turned into a classroom contest.
Activity 4: Engineering Design Process Flow Chart: Students can use this sheet to review the steps they went through in the completed engineering design assignments. This could potentially be used as an assessment.
Each of these units is available for purchase separately in my store. I also have many other science topics, as well as Project Based Learning units with many middle grade math grades integrated into each.
***Also Available: 5th Grade PowerPoint Bundle to supplement this entire year activity bundle.
I also have a 5th Grade SUPER BUNDLE that includes this product and the PowerPoint Bundle. This would be ideal if you do not have any science textbooks to provide content background. ****
