The Grade 5 Earth Science Unit is presented to students through a series of investigations, experiments, active learning experiences, questions, and assessments. They analyze the data and make predictions about future weather patterns in their local area. Throughout the unit, students collect data on weather from their weather station. Students will know the relationship between density, temperature, relative humidity and air pressure and how those factors impact local weather as well as contributing to severe weather patterns.
Students will also know that water on the Earth allows for life to exist that the water cycles through living and non living components of the environment that water cycles as individual molecules and at different rate and from different locations that the water cycle is a major basis of weather which is the condition of the air around us. Specifically students will know that: the solar system consists of the sun (a star) and 8 planets that each planet has its characteristics (including size and distance from the sun) by which it can be described, and that the Earth is the only one with water. structure and function are related in living organisms. By the end of the unit students will know the main idea that as the “water planet” Earth is unique. Introduction: The Grade 5 Earth Science Unit focuses on the uniqueness of Earth through several of its systems (water cycle and weather) and addresses the California Science Standards for 5th grade Life Science.
