5th Grade 4th Six Weeks Exemplar Lesson 01: Changes over Time (11 days) Students will engage in activities and learning that shows how the flow of rivers and lava, precipitation (in the form of rain), wind, ice (glaciers), and barriers affect the shape of the land over time through weathering and erosion. Exemplar Lesson 02: Investigating the Past: Tree Rings (5 days). This lesson focuses on tree rings. Students learn more about how the patterns of tree rings can predict past events. Exemplar Lesson 03: Investigating the Past: Sedimentary Rock (5 days) this lesson will still focus on investigating the past by looking at rock sequences and fossils. During this lesson the rock cycle will also be studied. Exemplar Lesson 04: Constructive and Destructive Forces (5 days) this lesson will focus on constructive and destructive forces that occur on the Earth’s surface. Students will review the processes of weathering, erosion and deposition. Exemplar Lesson 01: Objects in the Sky - Solar System (6 days) Students will learn about gravity and how it influences the Sun, Earth, and planets in our solar system. Students will review the order of the planets but most importantly, they will learn that the force of gravity is what keeps the planets in orbit. Students will also learn why planets revolve around the Sun Exemplar Lesson 02: Moon and the Earth (8 days) Students will learn more about cycles and how these cycles help predict patterns such as seasons, day and night, phases of the moon, and tides. Students will go into more detail about Earth and some of the cycles that occur. Students will be able to see animated visuals and pictures to help them understand these concepts. Students will also perform kinesthetic activities to help them learn the concepts. 6th Grade 4th Six Weeks Exemplar Lesson 01: From Parents to Offspring (3 days) Students will witness a DNA extraction demonstration and explore traits of other students in order to interpret the role of genes in inheritance. Exemplar Lesson 02: Changes in Traits (5 days) Students will observe and identify how changes occur over several generations through natural selection and selective breeding. Exemplar Lesson 01: Characteristics, Needs, and Responses of Organisms (5 days) Students will identify responses in organisms, plant and animals, to internal and external stimuli. One lab on animals and one on plants will give students practice in observing responses. Exemplar Lesson 02: Responding to the Environment (5 days) Students will identify components of an ecosystem to which organisms respond. Students will connect how an organism’s ability to respond affects its survival. 7th Grade 4th Six Weeks Exemplar Lesson 02: Potential and Kinetic Energy (4 days) this lesson will focus on illustrating examples of potential and kinetic energy in everyday life. Exemplar Lesson 03: Simple Machines (8 days) this lesson will focus on the basic relationship between force and motion. Activities involving each of the simple machines and their efficiency are included. Simple calculation of work done will be addressed Exemplar Lesson 01: Unbalanced Forces and Motion (4 days) This lesson will focus on Newton’s First Law of Motion, which states that an object will remain at rest or move in a constant speed and in a straight line if it is not subjected to an unbalanced force. Exemplar Lesson 01: Length of Day and Reasons for the Seasons (4 days) Most objects in our solar system have a regular and predictable motion such as rotation, revolution, and orbits. These predictable motions explain such phenomena such as day, night, and phases of the moon, eclipses, tides, meteor showers, and comets. This lesson will address changes from day to night, as well as seasonal changes due to the tilt of the Earth. Exemplar Lesson 02: Motion of the Earth and Moon (4 days) these predictable motions explain such phenomena such as day, night, and phases of the moon, eclipses, tides, meteor showers and comets. This lesson will address moon phase changes, as well as solar and lunar eclipses caused by the tilt of the Earth’s and moon’s orbits.
