Description
This bundle is everything you need to teach 5th Grade Matter and Its Interactions. It’s specially designed to align with the NGSS standards 5-PS1-1, 5-PS1-2, 5-PS1-3 and 5-PS1-4.
States of Matter Interactive Notebook (NGSS 5-PS1-1) – Your students are going to love these States of Matter Interactive Notebook Pages! No-prep just print and go! These INB pages are easy to follow and fun to use and teach with.
The following topics are covered:
- Matter, Mass, Weight, Volume
- Matter is made up of smaller particles
- Solids, Liquids, Gases
- States of Matter Definitions/Vocabulary Foldable
- Particle Arrangement in Solids, Liquids, Gases
- Melting
- Evaporation
- Condensation
- Freezing
States of Matter Powerpoint and Quiz (NGSS 5-PS1-1). This is a really engaging powerpoint presentation that covers the NGSS 5-PS1-1 standard “develop a model to describe that matter is made of particles too small to be seen“. A quiz is also included (you can make this a team event or individual).
States of Matter Science Stations – Skittles and the states of matter! Your students are going to love these science stations! These states of matter stations are easy to follow and fun to use and teach with.
- Make It – at this station the students will make simple models showing how particles are arranged in solids, liquids and gases. This is a really fun station and they’ll remember the arrangement and understand the properties of the different states because they model them here.
- Match It – students will match the pictures to the questions and the answer letters will make up a surprise word!
- Label It – students are shown the stages in the changing of states together with labels. They must label their diagram using the supplied labels.
- Draw It – At this station the students will draw the particle structure for each state of matter.
- Explain It – Here the students will look at photos of common changes of state that they will be familiar with around the home and explain what is happening.
- Describe It – at this station the students will describe the various changes of states in a candle.
Changing States of Matter Bingo – your students will love this Changing State of Matter Bingo game! Easy to follow and great fun to use and teach with. You don’t have to add anything. It’s Bingo like it’s never been played before!
This is a great activity for consolidating learning, as a class reward or as a review.
- 30 unique bingo cards
- Ink Saver version included
- 24 Questions
- Graphic Hints on each card
- Answers are included on the teacher sheet
Conservation of Matter Lab NGSS 5-PS1-2 – this lesson has been designed to align with the NGSS standard 5-PS1-2 “measure and graph quantities to provide evidence that regardless of the type of change that occurs when heating, cooling, or mixing substances, the total weight of matter is conserved”.
- Conservation of Matter using Skittles – in this activity the students will measure and graph the weights of sorted and unsorted skittles.
- Conservation of Matter using a Salt Water Solution – this activity build upon the Skittles activity. The students will dissolve salt into water and compare the weights before and after the reaction and graph their results
Also included is a powerpoint on the conservation of matter.
Properties of Matter 5-PS1-3 – this lesson has been designed to align with the NGSS standard 5-PS1-3 “make observations and measurements to identify materials based on their properties”.
There are 3 easy to use hands-on activities in this packet.
- Hardness of Materials – in this short lab the students will compare the hardness of common household objects and rank them on a scale (provided).
- Electrical Conductivity – both you and your students are going to love this one! They’re going to make a simple electrical circuit (using aluminum foil) and test common items to see if they conduct electricity or not. Full instructions with photos are included. This experiment is designed to work with the minimum of fuss. Expect lots of “wow this is cool”!.
- Mystery Powders Lab – this is a fun lab where they’ll test common household powders and then see if they can identify a mystery powder. Photos of what you can expect to see are included.
Chemical Reactions NGSS 5-PS1-4 – This lesson has been designed to align with the NGSS standard 5-PS4-1 “ conduct an investigation to determine whether the mixing of two or more substances results in new substances”.
Included in this pack are:
- What I Know About Physical and Chemical Changes – this activity is to see what their existing knowledge of physical and chemical changes is and what they want to know. I’ve included a panel of hints and given an example of each to help them get started.
- Physical and Chemical Changes Reading Comprehension – students read about the differences between common everyday physical and chemical changes and the clues that scientists look for to see if a chemical reaction has taken place. They will answer questions based on the passage.
- Chemical Reactions – Make A Lava Lamp – this is a fun activity the students will remember. In this experiment they’re going to make their own lava lamps powered by a simple everyday chemical reaction – effervescent tablets. It’s a great way to show them that some chemical reactions produce a fizz.
- Chemical Reactions – Change of Color This a really simple hands on experiment they’re going to love! They will make their own red cabbage indicator (no boiling required) and test simple household substances to see if they’re acidic, basic or neutral. They’re also going to see what happens when you mix an acid and a base together and the importance of a control.
