» The Physical Setting

» The Universe

• The patterns of stars in the sky stay the same, although they appear to move across the sky nightly, and different stars can be seen in different seasons.

• Planets change their positions against the background of stars.

• The earth is one of several planets that orbit the sun, and the moon orbits around the earth.

By the end of the 5th grade, students should know that


Moving air and water can be used to run machines

Some sources of energy cost less than others and some cause less pollution than others

Some source of “energy” is needed for all organisms to stay alive and grow.

Make and interpret scale drawings

Find and describe locations on maps with rectangular and polar coordinates.

Make sketches to aid in explaining procedures and ideas.Many materials can be recycled and used again,

sometimes in different forms.

Planets change their positions against the background of stars.

Curriculum is more than just a pile of learning outcomes! At a

minimum, a good curriculum: (1) defines meaningful

relationships among learning outcomes; and (2) may provide

links to supporting learning resources, pedagogical guides,

professional development documents etc.

“Planets change their positions against the background of stars.”

”[AAAS Strand Map] arrows can imply a development of sophistication within one scientific idea, a relationship across topics or disciplines, a joining of multiple learning goals into some more complex understanding, or a single learning goal contributing to multiple subsequent learning goals. ”
