SCIENCE

In the Fifth Grade students begin to understanding concepts of Change and Cause and Effect. Students will learn about the constantly changing Earth's surface. They will investigate physical and chemical changes in matter. They will begin to relate causes for changes with their effects. Students will have opportunity to investigate the effects of various forces, such as magnetism and electricity upon materials. They will begin to learn how traits passed from parent organisms to their offspring affect their survival.

5th Grade Utah Science Standard
Science Benchmark: Earth and some earth materials have magnetic properties. Without touching them, a magnet attracts things made of iron and either pushes or pulls on other magnets. Electricity is a form of energy. Current electricity can be generated and transmitted through pathways. Some materials are capable of carrying electricity more effectively than other materials. Static electricity is a result of objects being electrically charged. Without touching them, materials that are electrically charged may either push or pull other charged materials.
Standard 4 
Students will understand features of static and current electricity. 
Objective 1 
Describe the behavior of static electricity as observed in nature and everyday occurrences.
Objective 2 
Analyze the behavior of current electricity.
