5th Grade Science
Students will be able to classify matter based on physical properties including mass, magnetism, physical state, relative density, solubility in water, and the ability to conduct or insulate thermal energy or electrical energy.
This week students will explore relative density, mixtures, and solutions through hands on labs and virtual labs in stemscopes. Students will have a UNIT 2 Test over Matter Friday. Students will receive a summary of the unit Monday to add to their Science Journals. Students may study their notes and vocabulary in their science journals in preparation for Friday's test.
