Hi, Beal Students and Families!

The schedule below will help you with your daily work. Have fun learning!

Remote Learning Lessons for Grade: Science Grade 5

Week of:

Tasks: Monday

engineering/383?r=16995700#

Why is it so hard to make new inventions?

1. Watch mystery answering questions as you go.

2. In this mini-lesson, students are introduced to the surprisingly

important role of “failure” in the process of developing

solutions to problems. In the activity, Bobby Dropper, students

try to save a falling bobby pin from a crash landing by

inventing a paper device to slow the fall. They work like

inventors, learning from their failures — and learning that

failures are part of the invention process!

3. What you need: bobby pin or paper clip, 3 pieces of paper,

scissors, Ideas handout or on screen. Follow the steps on the

handout and the video.

Take a photo or video of your product at the end and message me on

Class Dojo.

Tasks: Tuesday

This week we are beginning our unit about Earth’s systems, specifically

the hydrosphere and the Earth’s fresh water as a natural resource.

Our first lesson was called, “How much water is in the world?” We will

learn how surprisingly little fresh water there is on earth, at least

compared to the total amount of water, and discussed how salt water,

even though it is common, is not actually something we can drink to

survive.

You can encourage your child’s curiosity at home! Salt water is okay to

drink in small quantities, so here is something fun you can do together:

invite your child to mix a tablespoon of salt into a glass of water and

try tasting it, to simulate what ocean water tastes like.

Questions How much water is in the world?

Activity 1. In this Mystery, students use estimation and graphing to

discover the surprising difference in the amounts of fresh and

salt water on Earth. In the activity, Map the World's Water,

students count squares on maps and record the amount of fresh,

frozen, and salt water found in their assigned area of the world.

Then students calculate and graph how much of each type of

water is present on the planet.

2. Watch mystery and answer questions as you go.

3. Experiment: Do the experiment taking pictures as you go if you

have the equipment. Follow the mystery with the instructions of

the activity. If you need to improvise please do. You need: blank

paper, markers or colored pencils, scotch tape, post its,

handout. Tasks: Wednesday

Video StemScopes: Video: The Water Cycle Log onto StemScopes through

the Student Applications. Go to Assignments. Click on Video: The

Water Cycle. Watch video and pause when it asks you questions and

discuss the answers.

Questions How does the water cycle work?

Activity 1. Watch video answering questions as you go.

2. Rewatch the video while answering the questions in complete

sentences. Remember if it says to explain make sure you do.

3. Draw using the tools on-line. Make sure you label all parts. If

you do a paper copy make sure you write paper copy on question

and take a photo and send it to me through Class Dojo.

This is your challenge for the week. You should work on these assignments on during the week

or do them Thursday and Friday. Make sure you let me know when you have finished so I can

give you feedback. Make sure you write in complete sentences.

• Content Connections Video-Patterns on Earth

• Content Connections Video-Motions of the Sun

• Content Connections Video-Isaac Newton

• Reading Science A-Gravity

• Concept Attainment Quiz from Earth’s Rotation using the STEMscopedia as a

reference.

I have posted a list of websites on the bealelementary.org page. Please choose activities

that your child would like to explore. Please pick an activity from the list to do with

your scientist each day that you don’t do an assignment. Have fun and stay curious.
