5th Grade Science**
 * Unit on Matter
 * Approximate Time Needed**: 3 weeks, 5 hours of class time per week

**Alabama Course of Study Standard**

1.) Identify evidence of chemical changes through color, gas formation, solid formation, and temperature change. Example: combining vinegar and baking soda to produce a gas  2). Define mass, volume, and density Identifying the atom as the basic building block of matter Relating temperature changes to particle motion (Example: movement of colored dye in hot and cold water) Relating density to the sinking or floating of an object in a liquid


 * Student Objectives/Learning Outcomes**
 * 1) Students will be able to identify mass, volume, and density using technology as a tool to research the topics.
 * 2) Students will be able to distinguish among mass, volume, and density.
 * 3) Students will be able to classify the parts of an experiment in which temperature changes particle motion.
 * 4) Students will be able to illustrate physical and chemical changes in matter.
 * 5) Students will be able to create an experiment that represents an example of a physical or chemical change in a collaborative group.
 * 6) Students will be able to judge characteristics of mass, volume, and density in everyday life gathered through measurement and observation.


 * Curriculum Framing Questions

Essential Question** Why is everything made up of matter?

How does mass, volume, and density relate to matter? Why does matter go through changes?
 * Unit Questions**

What are some ways that solids, liquids, and gases can be altered through a change in temperature? What happens to molecules during each stage of matter when the temperature is changed? What are some experiments that will demonstrate physical and chemical changes of matter?
