Demonstrate and explain that some mixtures maintain physical properties (e.g., iron filings and sand).
TEKS 5.6B bridges prior learning and next steps in Science, keeping Mixtures coherent across the year.
For Grade 5, this standard focuses on Mixtures and prepares learners for increasingly complex tasks.
Start with concrete or familiar examples, connect to prior knowledge, model a clear process, and provide checks for understanding aligned to 5.6B.
Standard 5.6B describes the essential skills and understandings for Mixtures in Grade 5. It clarifies the learning outcomes and what successful work looks like.
Use short exit tickets and tasks where students explain decisions, show multiple representations, or justify answers—directly aligned to 5.6B.
Students may rely on procedures without reasoning or mix key terms. Build in quick oral explanations, error analysis, and vocabulary supports tied to 5.6B.
