5TH GRADECA STATE OBJECTIVES

Instructional Objectives - SCIENCE

Students will work in small groups to record

the results offreezing, melting, and boiling

water.

Students will participate in a game of Bowling to

assess the different types of energy.

Extending the experiment of the 3 states of matter and the bowling activity

will allow students to better understand the concept of mass and matter

and the concept of force and motion

Students participate in group experiments that allow them to engage in the 6 steps of a scientific

experiment. Students will work in small groups to test and record the results of freezing, melting, and

boiling water.

Students use Google to view a sample of YouTube scientific

experiments.

Using the interactive white board, students will view and participate in researching various facts

about mass and matter and the concept of force and motion

Students will record and interview 5-7 people.

IT IS JUST A PHASE Research and Analysis

SOLID, LIQUID, AND GAS

http://www.brainpopjr.com/science/matter/solidsliquidsandgases/preview.weml

When water is in its solid state (ice), the water molecules are packed close together preventing it from changing shape. Ice has a very regular pattern with the molecules rigidly apart from one another connected by the hydrogen bonds that form a crystalline lattice. These crystals have a number of open regions and pockets making ice less dense than liquid water. This is why ice floats on water. Ice forms when the temperature is below freezing (0°Celsius or 32°Fahrenheit).

The third state of water is the gaseous state (water vapor). In this state, water molecules move very rapidly and are not bound together. Although we cannot see water in its gaseous state, we can feel it in the air on a hot, humid day. Commonly, water boils at a temperature of 100°C or 212°F, forming water vapor. Many people believe that the visible plume of steam from a boiling kettle is water vapor. However, the steam that you see consists of very small water droplets suspended in the air, while water vapor is the invisible gas that results when water evaporates. We can "see" water vapor through the electromagnetic eyes of infrared-sensing instruments.

GRAVITY Research and Analysis

• How does gravity work?

There are two forces in nature that we experience every day: gravity and magnetism. You may have magnets on your refrigerator, and you know that a magnet will attract a refrigerator with a certain amount of force. The force depends on the strength of the magnet and the distance between the magnet and the metal. You also know that magnets have two poles -- north and south. Either pole will attract iron or steel equally well, north will attract south, and like poles will repel one another.

Weight and the Gravitational ForceWe have seen that in the Universal Law of Gravitation the crucial quantity is mass. In popular language mass and weight are often used to mean the same thing; in reality

they are related but quite different things. What we commonly call weight is really just the gravitational force exerted on an object of a certain mass. We can illustrate by choosing the Earth as one of the two masses in the

previous illustration of the Law of Gravitation:

                                                                                                                         

GRAVITY AND THE MOONResearch and Analysis

Your weight on the moon is a function of the moon's gravity. First, we know that gravity is a force that attracts all physical objects towards each other (but why this happens is largely

unknown!). Second, the greater the mass of an object, the stronger the force of gravity. The moon is 1/4 the size of Earth, so the

moon's gravity is much less than the earth's gravity, 83.3% (or

5/6) less to be exact.

Finally, "weight" is a measure of the gravitational pull between two objects. So of course you would weigh much less on the moon. Imagine how far you could jump on the moon! The Apollo astronauts apparently had fun :-)

KINETIC AND POTENTIAL ENERGYResearch and Analysis

Because it's wider at the bottom, the center of mass in a bowling pin is low on the object. This point (sometimes called the center of gravity) is the spot where equal mass exists on all sides. There is just as much mass above this point as there is below. It's low on the pin because the top part of the bowling pin is so narrow.

The fact that it is low is what makes the pin so hard to tip over. Here's why ...Gravity, the force that pulls downwards, can be thought of as acting on the center of mass of the bowling pin. Gravity acts on the bowling pin to try to pull it down. As long as the pin is sitting on its base, it can't fall over, because the floor is pushing back on the base of the pin.

Instructional Objectives Writing/Language Arts

for grammatical and punctuation errors.

Students will write a poem or A 1 page report about their

super hero.

Students will use the internet to research reviews and critiques of various

Disney Super Heroes movies.

new vocabulary words.

Contribute to their team and work effectively and collaboratively with the other members; problem-

solve

Students create a PowerPoint Presentation of 10 slides using a favorite carton or Disney movie to map the element of science, math or history. Their movie mapping must connect to a current

standard of the 5th grade curriculum.

Sample Poems

American HeroesAmerica has so many heroes.Many, we know not their

names,They are policemen and

firemen,Soldiers and boxers.

Most, with no Hollywood fame.

Heroes come from all walks of life,

From every race, religion, and creed.

Helping citizens in trouble,Assisting those in desperate

need.I have had many heroes

Throughout my entire life,My parents, my siblings, my

kids, even strangersAnd a hero who's made me his

wife.How fortunate we are who

love our country,Giving unconditionally,

How fortunate I am to be an American

Whom someone's hero is me. by Cheryl Alexander

HEROI feel like I'm an ordinary guyThey treat me strange, so tell me why.I always try to do what's right.That doesn't mean I don't feel fright.

I do feel fear.  I do get scared.That time was just because I cared.I might get hurt or maybe die,But I can't just

sit idly by.Why do they all say I'm so brave?That situation simply was real grave.I'm sure that others would do like me.But not so folks would jump with glee.Then shake my hand and slap my back,And tell me that I have a knackTo be a hero and make them proudAnd say a word

to the grateful crowd.For I believe that fear is strong.But I cannot do what is wrong.I simply just do what I can.I'm not a hero,

just a man.So please do not treat me so kind.It's something that still blows my mind.Instead, be heroes one and all.Let's teach our children to stand tall.

LESSON INTRODUCTION

• Pre-assigned activity (Students will need to interview and video tape a minimum of 5-7 people (students, teachers, parents or friends) asking each person what is gravity. Students may use the Movie Making application.

• Using the interactive white board, students will watch 5 pre-selected videos of their classmates interviews. The most creative video will be uploaded to YouTube (with the permission of those on the video) and receive 5 bonus points towards their essay or Graphic Organizer assignment.

• Give student KWL worksheet. This will also be displayed on the interactive white board. Ask students to share what they know about mass and matter.

• Students will record what they know on their KWL worksheet

• Students will be shown pictures of the various states of matter, solid, liquid and gas (Using the interactive whiteboard).

Mini Portion of the LessonStudents will pair up into two’s use a

measuring tape to record how high each person can jump. Students will share

and discuss why they think the heights of

their classmates vary

(height, weight, strength, speed). Encourage students to average their

jumps. (Great opportunity to integrate math by finding the sum of their jumps and then dividing the sum by the number of jumps to find the average of their

jumps.)The teacher will listen attentively to see if any student mentions the force

of gravity.This student will be rewarded with a bonus of 5 points on their essay.

With the students permission, the teacher will record 10 students results and discuss responses on the interactive white board.

BUILDING THE LESSON

Specify Problem•Today we will learn about the differences between mass vs. matter. We will see how these two elements affect our common daily activities in lives. •We will also evaluate whether or not we are aware of harmful gasses that are currently present in our environment.•We will assess whether or not Disney movies of today truly represent our heroes of the past and present. Many students are not aware of the past animated and present heroes and what roles they play/ed in society.

Results Presentation•Students will show their group PowerPoint presentation of a scientific experiment. They will also need to connect a Disney movie or super hero to their presentation. •Students can choose to complete a compare and contrast graphic organizer or a semantic web using the internet for resources, to compare an animated hero to a real-life hero.•Student will write a 1 page essay or a poem describing teacher, parent, community worker who they consider to be an hero.
