<div class="long-description"><h2>Description</h2><p>The Soils, Rocks, and Landforms Module provides students with firsthand experiences with soils and rocks and modeling experiences using tools such as topographic maps and stream tables to engage with the surface of Earth&rsquo;s landscape&mdash;the shape and the composition of landforms and the stories they tell of past events.</p> <p>Student engagement with these ideas is driven by four anchor phenomena that drive students to investigate weathering by water, ice, wind, living organisms; breaking rocks into smaller pieces; erosion or movement of earth materials to new locations; and deposition, the result of that transport process that builds new land. They investigate these phenomena:</p> <ul> <li>Anchor phenomenon 1&mdash;pile of earth material on the schoolyard</li> <li>Anchor phenomenon 2&mdash;impact to Mount St. Helens</li> <li>Anchor phenomenon 3&mdash;earth-shaking events</li> <li>Anchor phenomenon 4&mdash;rock layers, flat and tilted</li> </ul> <p>Students plan and carry out investigations by incrementally changing specific environmental conditions to determine the impact of changing the variables of slope and amount of water in stream tables. Students analyze and interpret data from diagrams and visual representations to build explanations from evidence and make predictions of future events. They develop model mountains and represent the landforms from different perspectives to look for change. Students gain experiences that will contribute to the understanding of the crosscutting concepts of patterns; cause and effect; scale, proportion, and quantity; systems and system models; and stability and change.</p></div><div class="feature-description"><h2>Features</h2><p>FOSS Curriculum:</p> <ul> <li>Allows students to be active investigators instead of passive learners</li> <li>Is built around firsthand exploration of relevant phenomena using classroom-proven theories and practices to engage all students</li> <li>Aligned to NGSS, Framework for K to 12 Science, and Common Core standards</li> <li>Provides unmatched professional learning, including hands-on &amp; virtual teacher workshops</li></ul></div><div class="in-box-description"><p>Resources available in this collection include:</p> <ul> <li>Comprehensive hands-on equipment kits made exclusively for FOSS</li> <li><strong><em>Investigations Guide </em></strong>(Teacher Edition Book) core instructional hardcover spiral-bound book provides educators with the support to successfully facilitate the investigations - available in print and digital</li> <li><strong><em>Teacher Resources</em></strong> with educative support to effectively teach standards - available in digital</li> <li><strong><em>FOSS Science Resources</em></strong> <strong><em>book</em></strong> (Student Edition Book) for students to build expository reading skills and highlight STEM careers - available in print and digital</li> <li>Accessibility options to the interactive digital resources on the ThinkLink&trade; platform for effective planning and engaged learning</li> <li>Spanish teaching and learning resources &ndash; available in print and digital</li> </ul></div>

<div class="long-description"><h2>Description</h2><p>All interactions between common objects arise from a few types of forces, primarily gravity and electromagnetism. Change of motion is the result of forces&mdash;usually multiple forces&mdash;acting on an object. Forces have a direction and a strength. Objects in contact exert forces on each other; however, forces acting between objects do not require that the objects be in contact. If forces on an object are unbalanced, the motion of the object will change (stop, start, go slower or faster, or change direction). Patterns of motion can be observed; when there is a regular pattern of motion, future motion can be predicted.</p> <p>Student engagement with these ideas in the Motion Module is driven by several anchor phenomena. Students work with magnets and paper clips, wheel-and-axle systems, and paper twirlers. They use their knowledge of forces and motion to enter the engineering design process and refine their understanding. They investigate these phenomena:</p> <ul> <li>Anchor phenomenon 1&mdash;artwork falling from the fridge</li> <li>Anchor phenomenon 2&mdash;objects falling and scattering</li> <li>Anchor phenomenon 3&mdash;riding a skateboard down a hill</li> </ul><br> <p>Students engage in science and engineering practices as they investigate phenomena and collect data to answer questions about the effects of magnetic force and the force of gravity on objects. Students explore the crosscutting concepts of patterns; cause and effect; and systems and system models as they define problems in order to develop solutions. Students reflect on their own use of science and engineering practices and find out how others use these practices in their careers.</p></div><div class="feature-description"><h2>Features</h2><p>FOSS Curriculum:</p> <ul> <li>Allows students to be active investigators instead of passive learners</li> <li>Is built around firsthand exploration of relevant phenomena using classroom-proven theories and practices to engage all students</li> <li>Aligned to NGSS, Framework for K to 12 Science, and Common Core standards</li> <li>Provides unmatched professional learning, including hands-on &amp; virtual teacher workshops</li></div><div class="in-box-description"></ul> <p>Resources available in this collection include:</p> <ul> <li>Comprehensive hands-on equipment kits made exclusively for FOSS</li> <li><strong><em>Investigations Guide </em></strong>(Teacher Edition Book) core instructional hardcover spiral-bound book provides educators with the support to successfully facilitate the investigations - available in print and digital</li> <li><strong><em>Teacher Resources</em></strong> with educative support to effectively teach standards - available in digital</li> <li><strong><em>FOSS Science Resources</em></strong> <strong><em>book</em></strong> (Student Edition Book) for students to build expository reading skills and highlight STEM careers - available in print and digital</li> <li>Accessibility options to the interactive digital resources on the ThinkLink&trade; platform for effective planning and engaged learning</li> <li>Spanish teaching and learning resources &ndash; available in print and digital</li> </ul></div>

<div class="long-description"><h2>Description</h2><p>In this module, students experience that organisms exhibit a variety of strategies for life, have a variety of structures and behaviors, have varied but predictable life cycles, and reproduce by passing inherited characteristics to offspring. Students explore how individual organisms have variations in their traits that may provide an advantage in surviving in a particular environment and how our knowledge of animals that survived in past environments is inferred by studying fossil characteristics.</p> <p>Students engage with the ideas in the Structures of Life Module through five anchor phenomena:</p> <ul> <li>Anchor phenomenon 1&mdash;mystery plants appear</li> <li>Anchor phenomenon 2&mdash;some bean plants look different</li> <li>Anchor phenomenon 3&mdash;critters on the loose</li> <li>Anchor phenomenon 4&mdash;changing population of insects</li> <li>Anchor phenomenon 5&mdash;uncovering unexpected organisms</li> </ul><br> <p>Students observe, compare, categorize, and care for organisms. Students engage in science and engineering practices to investigate the structures and behaviors of organisms and learn how the structures function in growth, survival, and reproduction. Students look at the interactions between organisms of the same kind, among organisms of different kinds, and between the environment and populations of organisms over time. Students focus on these crosscutting concepts to develop understandings about organisms and population survival&mdash;patterns; cause and effect; scale, proportion, and quantity; systems and system models; and structure and function.</p></div><div class="feature-description"><h2>Features</h2><p>FOSS Curriculum:</p> <ul> <li>Allows students to be active investigators instead of passive learners</li> <li>Is built around firsthand exploration of relevant phenomena using classroom-proven theories and practices to engage all students</li> <li>Aligned to NGSS, Framework for K to 12 Science, and Common Core standards</li> <li>Provides unmatched professional learning, including hands-on &amp; virtual teacher workshops</li></div><div class="in-box-description"><p>Resources available in this collection include:</p> <ul> <li>Comprehensive hands-on equipment kits made exclusively for FOSS</li> <li><strong><em>Investigations Guide </em></strong>(Teacher Edition Book) core instructional hardcover spiral-bound book provides educators with the support to successfully facilitate the investigations - available in print and digital</li> <li><strong><em>Teacher Resources</em></strong> with educative support to effectively teach standards - available in digital</li> <li><strong><em>FOSS Science Resources</em></strong> <strong><em>book</em></strong> (Student Edition Book) for students to build expository reading skills and highlight STEM careers - available in print and digital</li> <li>Accessibility options to the interactive digital resources on the ThinkLink&trade; platform for effective planning and engaged learning</li> <li>Spanish teaching and learning resources &ndash; available in print and digital</li> </ul></div>

<div class="long-description"><h2>Description</h2><p>The Mixtures and Solutions Module has four investigations that engage students with the phenomena of matter and its interactions in our everyday life—mixtures, solutions, solubility, concentration, and chemical reactions. Three anchor phenomena drive the investigations.</p><ul><li>Anchor phenomenon 1—change in pond water/impact of salt on pond life</li><li>Anchor phenomenon 2—identifying unknown substances</li><li>Anchor phenomenon 3—baking soda interactions</li><ul><p>Students construct models about matter made of particles too small to be seen and develop the understanding that matter is conserved when it changes state (from solid to liquid), when it dissolves in another substance, and when it is part of a chemical reaction. Students have experiences with mixtures, solutions of different concentrations, and reactions forming new substances. They also engage in engineering experiences using the properties of materials to design useful products. Learning about the properties and behaviors of substances and systems of substances develops their understanding about how things go together and how they can be taken apart. This gives them the opportunity to use and develop models that explain phenomena too small to see directly. Students gain experiences that will contribute to the understanding of the crosscutting concepts of patterns; cause and effect; scale, proportion, and quantity; systems and system models; and energy and matter.</p><ul></div><div class="feature-description"><h2>Features</h2>FOSS Curriculum:<br><li>Allows students to be active investigators instead of passive learners</li><li>Is built around firsthand exploration of relevant phenomena using classroom-proven theories and practices to engage all students</li><li>Aligned to NGSS, Framework for K to 12 Science, and Common Core standards</li><li>Provides unmatched professional learning, including hands-on & virtual teacher workshops</li></div><div class="in-box-description"></ul> <p>Resources available in this collection include:</p> <ul> <li>Comprehensive hands-on equipment kits made exclusively for FOSS</li> <li><strong><em>Investigations Guide </em></strong>(Teacher Edition Book) core instructional hardcover spiral-bound book provides educators with the support to successfully facilitate the investigations - available in print and digital</li> <li><strong><em>Teacher Resources</em></strong> with educative support to effectively teach standards - available in digital</li> <li><strong><em>FOSS Science Resources</em></strong> <strong><em>book</em></strong> (Student Edition Book) for students to build expository reading skills and highlight STEM careers - available in print and digital</li> <li>Accessibility options to the interactive digital resources on the ThinkLink&trade; platform for effective planning and engaged learning</li> <li>Spanish teaching and learning resources &ndash; available in print and digital</li> </ul></div>

They gather information about how energy is derived from natural resources and how that affects the environment and explore alternative sources of energy such as solar energy. They investigate how the amount of energy transfer changes when balls of different masses hit a stationary object. Students explore energy transfer through waves (repeating patterns of motion) that result in sound and motion. Students interpret data to build explanations from evidence and make predictions of future events. They develop models to represent how energy moves from place to place in electric circuits and in waves.

<div class="long-description"><h2>Description</h2><p>Earth is the third planet from the Sun. It travels around the Sun in a nearly circular orbit at a distance of about 150 million kilometers. Earth is water rich, with 71% of the planet&rsquo;s surface covered with&nbsp;water. It is surrounded by a shallow atmosphere of nitrogen (78%) and oxygen (21%), and small amounts of a lot of other gases. Students investigate the patterns observed in the sky over a day, a month, a year, and more, and their effects on Earth. Four anchor phenomena drive the investigations.</p> <ul> <li>Anchor phenomenon 1&mdash;Hot sand and cool water</li> <li>Anchor phenomenon 2&mdash;Water movement</li> <li>Anchor phenomenon 3&mdash;In the shade then sunlight</li> <li>Anchor phenomenon 4&mdash;One or many stars</li> </ul> <br> <ul> <p>The Earth and Sun Module provides students with experiences to explore the properties of the atmosphere, the energy transfer from the Sun to Earth, and the dynamics of weather and water cycling in Earth&rsquo;s atmosphere.

<div class="long-description"><h2>Description</h2><p>The idea of a system is one of the grand integrating (crosscutting) concepts that pervades all of science. In grade 5, students look at Earth as the interaction of four Earth systems or subsystems&mdash;the geosphere, the atmosphere, the hydrosphere, and the biosphere. The focus of the Living Systems Module is the biosphere as students investigate ecosystems in terms of their interacting parts. Four anchor phenomena drive the investigations.</p> <ul> <li>Anchor phenomenon 1&mdash;Changed into compost</li> <li>Anchor phenomenon 2&mdash;Fruit from plants growing with and without soil</li> <li>Anchor phenomenon 3&mdash;Changes in a fishing pond</li> <li>Anchor problem 4&mdash;Migrating monarch butterfly problem</li> </ul><br> <ul> <p>Students think about systems on different scales&mdash;systems within an organism that move matter and provide energy to the individual organism, and feeding relationships in ecosystems that move matter among plants, animals, decomposers, and the environment. Students come to understand through a variety of experiences that plants get the materials they need for growth primarily from water and air, and that energy in animals&rsquo; food was once energy from the Sun. There are opportunities for students to explore how human activities in agriculture, industry, and everyday life can have major effects on these systems.
