Course Name: Science Grade 5 State-required lab percentage: 50% (2.5 out of 5 opportunities)
TEKS Introduction Section NATURAL ENVIRONMENT
Investigations are used to learn about the natural world. Students learn how changes occur on Earth's surface and that predictable
Students should understand that certain types of questions can be answered by patterns occur in the sky.
investigations and the methods, models, and conclusions built from these Students learn that the natural world consists of resources, including
investigations change as new observations are made. nonrenewable, renewable, and alternative energy sources.
Models of objects and events are tools for understanding the natural world and
can show how systems work. LIVING ENVIRONMENT
Models have limitations and based on new discoveries are constantly being Students learn that structure and function of organisms can improve the survival
modified to more closely reflect the natural world. of members of a species.
Students learn to differentiate between inherited traits and learned behaviors.
PHYSICAL ENVIRONMENT Students learn that life cycles occur in animals and plants and that the carbon
Students learn about the physical properties of matter, including magnetism, dioxide-oxygen cycle occurs naturally to support the living environment.
physical states of matter, relative density, solubility in water, and the ability to
conduct or insulate electrical and heat energy.
Students explore the uses of light, thermal, electrical, and sound energies.
