This activity is a teacher-led demonstration of continental drift and includes a math worksheet for students involving the calculation of continental drift over time. Students will understand what continental drift is, why it occurs, and how earthquakes occur because of it.

Students are introduced to the idea that energy use impacts the environment and our wallets. They discuss different types of renewable and nonrenewable energy sources, as well as the impacts of energy consumption. Through a series of activities, students understand how they use energy and how it is transformed from one type to another. They learn innovative ways engineers conserve energy and how energy can be conserved in their homes.

Students drop water from different heights to demonstrate the conversion of water's potential energy to kinetic energy. They see how varying the height from which water is dropped affects the splash size. They follow good experiment protocol, take measurements, calculate averages and graph results. In seeing how falling water can be used to do work, they also learn how this energy transformation figures into the engineering design and construction of hydroelectric power plants, dams and reservoirs.

"Shadows are corrupting the land. Restore the balance of nature by exploring place value. Gate guides students in: lowering intimidation about large numbers and
decimals, understanding the meaning of place value, and realizing that the same mathematical concepts that apply to the ""easy"" integers apply to every order of magnitude."

In Module 2 students apply patterns of the base ten system  to mental strategies and a sequential study of multiplication via area diagrams and the distributive property leading to fluency with the standard algorithm.  Students move from whole numbers to multiplication with decimals, again using place value as a guide to reason and make estimations about products. Multiplication is explored as a method for expressing equivalent measures in both whole number and decimal forms.  A similar sequence for division begins concretely with number disks as an introduction to division with multi-digit divisors and leads student to divide multi-digit whole number and decimal dividends by two-digit divisors using a vertical written method.  In addition, students evaluate and write expressions, recording their calculations using the associative property and parentheses.  Students apply the work of the module to solve multi-step word problems using multi-digit multiplication and division with unknowns representing either the group size or number of groups.  An emphasis on the reasonableness of both products and quotients, interpretation of remainders and reasoning about the placement of decimals draws on skills learned throughout the module, including refining knowledge of place value, rounding, and estimation.

Grade 5’s Module 4 extends student understanding of fraction operations to multiplication and division of both fractions and decimal fractions.  Work proceeds from interpretation of line plots which include fractional measurements to interpreting fractions as division and reasoning about finding fractions of sets through fraction by whole number multiplication.  The module proceeds to fraction by fraction multiplication in both fraction and decimal forms.  An understanding of multiplication as scaling and multiplication by n/n as multiplication by 1 allows students to reason about products and convert fractions to decimals and vice versa.  Students are introduced to the work of division with fractions and decimal fractions.  Division cases are limited to division of whole numbers by unit fractions and unit fractions by whole numbers.  Decimal fraction divisors are introduced and equivalent fraction and place value thinking allow student to reason about the size of quotients, calculate quotients and sensibly place decimals in quotients.  Throughout the module students are asked to reason about these important concepts by interpreting numerical expressions which include fraction and decimal operations and by persevering in solving real-world, multistep problems which include all fraction operations supported by the use of tape diagrams.

En el módulo 2, los estudiantes aplican patrones del sistema Base Ten a las estrategias mentales y un estudio secuencial de multiplicación a través de diagramas de área y la propiedad distributiva que conduce a la fluidez con el algoritmo estándar. Los estudiantes se mueven de números enteros a multiplicación con decimales, nuevamente utilizando el valor del lugar como guía para la razón y hacer estimaciones sobre los productos. La multiplicación se explora como un método para expresar medidas equivalentes tanto en el número entero como en las formas decimales. Una secuencia similar para la división comienza concretamente con discos numéricos como una introducción a la división con divisores de múltiples dígitos y lleva al estudiante a dividir los dividendos de número entero y decimales de múltiples dígitos por divisores de dos dígitos utilizando un método escrito vertical. Además, los estudiantes evalúan y escriben expresiones, registrando sus cálculos utilizando la propiedad asociativa y los paréntesis. Los estudiantes aplican el trabajo del módulo para resolver problemas de palabras de varios pasos utilizando multiplicación y división de múltiples dígitos con incógnitas que representan el tamaño del grupo o el número de grupos. El énfasis en la razonabilidad de los productos y los cocientes, la interpretación de los restos y el razonamiento sobre la colocación de decimales se basa en las habilidades aprendidas en todo el módulo, incluido el conocimiento del valor del lugar, el redondeo y la estimación.

Módulo 4 de grado 5 extiende la comprensión del estudiante de las operaciones de fracción a la multiplicación y la división de fracciones y fracciones decimales. El trabajo procede de la interpretación de los gráficos de línea que incluyen mediciones fraccionales para interpretar las fracciones como división y razonamiento sobre la búsqueda de fracciones de conjuntos a través de la fracción por multiplicación de números enteros. El módulo procede a la fracción por multiplicación de fracción en formas de fracción y decimal. Una comprensión de la multiplicación como escala y multiplicación por N/N como multiplicación por 1 permite a los estudiantes razonar sobre productos y convertir fracciones en decimales y viceversa. Los estudiantes son presentados al trabajo de división con fracciones y fracciones decimales. Los casos de división se limitan a la división de números enteros por fracciones unitarias y fracciones unitarias por números enteros. Se introducen divisores de fracción decimal y la fracción equivalente y el pensamiento del valor del lugar permiten al alumno razonar sobre el tamaño de los cocientes, calcular los cocientes y colocar decimales con sensatez en los cocientes. A lo largo del módulo, se les pide a los estudiantes que razonen sobre estos conceptos importantes interpretando expresiones numéricas que incluyen operaciones de fracción y decimales y perseverar en la resolución de problemas de varios pasos en el mundo real que incluyen todas las operaciones de fracción compatibles con el uso de diagramas de cintas.

Pearl Diver teaches properties of numbers, how to plot numbers, how to visualize quantity on the number line, how to order numbers, and how to use the number line as a visual model for mathematical operations.

Uncountable times every day with the merest flick of a finger each one of us calls on electricity to do our bidding. What would your life be like without electricity? Students begin learning about electricity with an introduction to the most basic unit in ordinary matter, the atom. Once the components of an atom are addressed and understood, students move into the world of electricity. First, they explore static electricity, followed by basic current electricity concepts such as voltage, resistance and open/closed circuits. Next, they learn about that wonderful can full of chemicals the battery. Students may get a "charge" as they discover the difference between a conductor and an insulator. The unit concludes with lessons investigating simple circuits arranged "in series" and "in parallel," including the benefits and unique features associated with each. Through numerous hands-on activities, students move cereal and foam using charged combs, use balloons to explore electricity and charge polarization, build and use electroscopes to evaluate objects' charge intensities, construct simple switches using various materials in circuits that light bulbs, build and use simple conductivity testers to evaluate materials and solutions, build and experiment with simple series and parallel circuits, design and build their own series circuit flashlight, and draw circuits using symbols.
