(5-PS1-4)ĭraw evidence from literary or informational texts to support analysis, reflection, and research. Recall relevant information from experiences or gather relevant information from print and digital sources summarize or paraphrase information in notes and finished work, and provide a list of sources. Cause and effect relationships are routinely identified and used to explain change.Ĭonnections to other DCIs in fifth grade: N/AĪrticulation of DCIs across grade-levels: 2.PS1.B MS.PS1.A MS.PS1.BĬonduct short research projects that use several sources to build knowledge through investigation of different aspects of a topic.When two or more different substances are mixed, a new substance with different properties may be formed.Conduct an investigation collaboratively to produce data to serve as the basis for evidence, using fair tests in which variables are controlled and the number of trials considered.Planning and carrying out investigations to answer questions or test solutions to problems in 3–5 builds on K–2 experiences and progresses to include investigations that control variables and provide evidence to support explanations or design solutions.
The performance expectation above was developed using the following elements from the NRC document A Framework for K-12 Science Education: Students who demonstrate understanding can:Ĭonduct an investigation to determine whether the mixing of two or more substances results in new substances.
