Grade Five Unit 1: Properties of Matter First Marking Period (9/6-11/14) Unit Focus Essential Questions Next Generation Standards Disciplinary Core Ideas(DCI) In this unit of study, students describe that matter is made of particles too small to be seen by developing a model. The crosscutting concept of scale, proportion, and quantity is called out as an organizing concept for these disciplinary core ideas. Students demonstrate grade-appropriate proficiency in developing and using models, planning and carrying out investigations, and use these practices to demonstrate understanding of the core ideas. 1.
