Investigate how energy flows and matter cycles through systems; conservation of matter.
Standard 5.5E in Science helps students understand Energy & Matter and apply knowledge with confidence.
This standard clarifies expectations for Energy & Matter so lesson goals, checks for understanding, and feedback stay aligned.
Standard 5.5E describes the essential skills and understandings for Energy & Matter in Grade 5. It clarifies the learning outcomes and what successful work looks like.
Students may rely on procedures without reasoning or mix key terms. Build in quick oral explanations, error analysis, and vocabulary supports tied to 5.5E.
Start with concrete or familiar examples, connect to prior knowledge, model a clear process, and provide checks for understanding aligned to 5.5E.
It lays groundwork for the next grade by deepening accuracy and flexibility with Energy & Matter, so students can tackle more complex problems later.
