Grade 5 Science Oklahoma standards Standards

Algorithms & Programming

Algorithms

Model, compare and refine multiple algorithms for the same task and determine which is the most efficient.

Control

Create programs using a programming language that utilize sequencing, repetition, conditionals, event handlers and variables using math operations to manipulate values to solve a problem or express ideas both independently and collaboratively.

Modularity

Decompose (break down) large problems into smaller, manageable subproblems and then into a precise sequence of instructions.

With grade appropriate complexity, modify, remix, or incorporate portions of an existing program into one's own work, to develop something new or add more advanced features.

Program Development

Use an iterative process to plan the development of a program that includes others' perspectives and user preferences while solving simple problems.

Observe intellectual property rights and give appropriate credit when creating programs using original code or code reuse.

Analyze, create, and debug a program that includes sequencing, repetition, conditionals, and variables in a programming language.

Communicate and explain program development choices using comments, presentations, and demonstrations.

Variables

Create programs that use variables to store and modify grade level appropriate data.

Computing Systems

Devices

Select and use the most efficient computing systems to perform a variety of tasks for an intended outcome while recognizing that users have different needs for the technology they use.

Hardware & Software

Model that information is translated into bits to transmit and process between hardware and software to accomplish tasks.

Troubleshooting

Identify, using accurate terminology, simple hardware and software problems that may occur during everyday use. Discuss problems with peers and adults, apply strategies for solving these problems and explain why the strategies should work.

Data Analysis

Collection, Visualization, & Transformation

Organize and present collected data to highlight comparisons and support a claim.

Inference & Models

Determine how the accuracy of conclusions is influenced by the amount of data collected.

Storage

Evaluate trade-offs, including availability and quality, based on the type of file, storage requirements (e.g., file size, availability, available memory), and sharing requirements.

Impacts of Computing

Culture

Give examples and explain how computing technologies have changed the world, and express how computing technologies influence and are influenced by cultural practices within your community.

Develop, test, and refine digital artifacts to improve accessibility and usability.

Social Interactions

Develop a code of conduct, explain, and practice grade-level appropriate behavior and responsibilities while participating in an online community. Identify and report inappropriate behavior.

As a team, collaborate with outside resources (other grade levels, online spaces) to include different perspectives to improve computational artifacts.

Internet Safety, Law, & Ethics

Observe intellectual property rights and give appropriate credit when using resources.

Networks & The Internet

Cybersecurity

Discuss real-world cybersecurity problems and identify strategies for how personal information can be protected.

Network Communication & Organization

Model how information is broken down into packets (i.e., smaller pieces), transmitted through multiple devices over networks and the Internet, and reassembled at the destination.

Earth and Human Activity

Earth's Systems

Earth's Place in the Universe

Ecosystems: Interactions, Energy, and Dynamics

From Molecules to Organisms: Structure and Processes

Energy

Motion and Stability: Forces and Interactions

Matter and Its Interactions

Support an argument with evidence that differences in the apparent brightness of the sun compared to other stars is due to their relative distances from Earth.

Represent data in graphical displays to reveal patterns of daily changes in the length and direction of shadows, in addition to different positions of the sun, moon, and stars at different times of the day, month, and year.

Develop a model to describe ways the geosphere, biosphere, hydrosphere, and/or atmosphere interact.

Describe and graph amounts of saltwater and freshwater in various reservoirs to provide evidence about the distribution of water on Earth.

Obtain and combine information about ways individual communities use science ideas to protect the Earth's resources and environments.

Support an argument that plants get the materials they need for growth chiefly from air and water.

Develop a model to describe the movement of matter among plants, animals, decomposers, and the environment.

Use models to explain factors that upset the stability to local ecosystems.

Develop a model to describe that matter is made of particles too small to be seen.

Measure and graph quantities to provide evidence that regardless of the type of change that occurs when heating, cooling, or mixing substances, the total weight of matter is conserved.

Make observations and measurements to identify materials based on their properties.

Conduct an investigation to determine whether the mixing of two or more substances results in new substances.

Support an argument, with evidence, that Earth's gravitational force pulls objects downward toward the center of the earth.

Use models to describe that energy in animals' food (used for body repair, growth, motion, and to maintain body warmth) was once energy from the sun.
