a new prediction (hypothesis)
3. Planning and investigation
(materials/procedures) 4.

Do all science investigations

follow the exact steps of the
scientific method? not really modern scientists find the
traditional method too linear
and frequently back-track
forming new predictions and
tests before gathering the
data they need to confirm
their results. (But scientists
still emphasize the need for
precise, accurate empirical
evidence and replication.)

How can a mixture be
separated? each substance in
a mixture keeps its own
physical and chemical
properties, so their
properties can be used to
separate the mixture
relatively easily back into
each substance by sifting
larger substances from
smaller ones, filtering solid
substances from liquid ones,
separating iron substances
from non-magnetic
substances using a magnet,
by dissolving a substance in
water then evaporating the

forms of energy? light - a
form of energy that travels in
long and very short waves;
some waves (long) are visible
to humans and others (short)
are not visible. Common
sources of light energy
include a candle, light bulb,
fire, and the Sun. No matter
what the source, light always
travels in a straight line (ray)
in all directions from the
source. Many sources of
visible light also include heat
(thermal energy) see
SC.5.P.9.1. Sound is a form of
wave energy produced by
vibrating objects. Sound
waves need a medium

is how high or low its tone
sounds. Electrical energy is
the flow of charged particles
from one place to another.
Static electricity is the buildup of electric charges on an

your hair, lightning. Chemical
energy is the energy stored

making heat, burning candle
making light. Mechanical
energy is the energy of

How can energy produce

motion? Different forms of
energy can produce forces
(vibrations, flowing particles,
build-up of charges) that
cause pushes and pulls and
motion, i.e. magnets attract
iron and repel other magnets,
a vibrating tuning fork
splashes water, a comb
attracts pieces of paper, etc.

How can energy create

change? Different forms of
energy such as heat, light,
chemical and mechanical can
create chemical and physical
changes (camp fire - wood to
heat to light, burning candle wax to heat to light, glow
sticks - chemical to heat to
light, machines - gas to heat
to motion).

SC.5.P.13.1
Identify familiar
forces that cause
objects to move,
such as pushed
or pulls, including
gravity acting on
falling objects.
AA

What causes an object to

move? If the forces are
unbalanced in strength (have
a 'net force' other than zero)
then the object must be
moving in the direction of the
stronger force pushing or
pulling on it.

Why do most objects fall to

the ground? Gravity is an
invisible force created by the
Earth's mass. Because the
Earth is more massive than
most other objects, they are
pulled toward Earth (one
exception might be a 'helium
balloon' - helium gas has less
mass than air, a mixture of
nitrogen & oxygen gases, so
the air pushes the helium
balloon up, away from Earth).

What makes an object move

faster and/or change
directions? Forces usually act
in pairs, opposite in direction
to each other. If one force is
greater in strength than the
other force acting on an
object, the object will move in
the direction of the greater
force. The greater the force,
the faster the the object will
move and/or change

Why can some objects be

moved easily while others are
harder to move? For one
force to move, change the
speed or direction of an
object, it has to be greater
than the mass (inertia) of
that object as well as any
other force(s) acting on the
object. The more massive the
object, the more force is
needed to move it.

is because

something in the

that the forces

What causes an object to

stop? Remember forces
usually act in pairs, opposite
direction to each other. If the
forces acting on an object are
balanced (equal in strength)
then the resulting 'net force'
on the object is zero, and the
object will stop moving and

What conditions affect air
pressure? 1) Water vapor - air
that is more moist has a

has a higher air pressure. 2)
Air temperature - as air gets
warmer, the air pressure goes
down; as air gets colder the
air pressure goes up. 3)
Altitude - air at higher
altitudes is thinner and more
spread out, so as the altitude
gets higher, the air pressure
goes down.

heats up faster, water

measured using an
anemometer (the wind
pushes against cups spinning
the anemometer around; the
faster the wind is blowing the
faster it spins). The wind
pushes cold and hot air
masses together causing
storm fronts (changes in the
weather).
How is wind direction shown

the weather? The wind's
direction is shown by a wind
vane. Arrows point to the
direction the wind is coming
from, i.e. an arrow pointing

How are vertebrate animals

classified? Vertebrate animals
(those with backbones) are
classified by scientists into
five groups: amphibians, fish,
reptiles, birds and mammals.
Each group has its own
unique characteristic
structures (body parts) and
behaviors (life cycles).
24
How are plants classified?

Plants are grouped into two
major groups, flowering and
nonflowering according to
their life cycles.

characteristic or condition
passed by genes (DNA
segments) from parent to
offspring. Some traits are
observable (dominant),
others are not (recessive).
What is a behavior? An
activity or action that
generally helps an organism
survive in its environment.
Many behaviors are learned
from experience over a
lifetime; others are innate
(inborn, or coded for in the
genes) like animal survival
instincts.
How can traits help
organisms survive? Traits
determine an organisms body
type and structures, i.e.
scales or fur, hooves or claws,
legs or fins, teeth or beak,
eggs or live-birth, flowers or
cones, leaves or needles. In

most cases these body

structures help the organism
compete with other
organisms in the same
habitat.
Can behaviors help organisms
survive? Behaviors like
physical traits can give
organisms a edge in surviving
i.e., swimming or flying,
running or climbing,
hibernating or migrating and
responding to light
(phototropism) and
responding to gravity
(gravitropism) in plants.

Key Questions
Why do organisms adapt?

Organisms need to adapt
(change) to their
environment to compete for
food, water, shelter and living
space and then reproduce
offspring in order to survive.
What is natural selection?
Natural selection is the
process by which organisms
change over many
generations and those best
suited to their environment
survive to pass their traits
and behaviors on to the next
generation of offspring.
What is extinction?
Extinction is when every
individual members of a
species (same kind of
organism) is dead.
Extinctions occur when living
things cannot adapt to

What are limiting factors?

For any population (group of
similar organisms) to survive,
there must be enough air,
food, water, and living space
for them to grow and
reproduce. These basic
resources are called 'limiting
factors' because their
availability limits how many
organisms can live in an
ecosystem.
