NOTES page 109 – 110
Physical structure- All living organisms have structures that help them grow, get energy and stgay healthy.
- Sometimes structures can be very similar even though the organisms are different.
- Ex bark of a tree peels so the tree can grow
- Snake skin sheds so the snake can grow
- Physical structures can be very different even if they do similar jobs.
- Ex animal egg is very delicate and it protects the new living thing
- Seeds are very hard and they protect the new living thing
Structures for support- Internal skeleton vs exoskeletons
- Internal skeleton
- Are on the inside
- supports the body and
- protects organs such as brain and heart
- Exoskeletons
- are outside their bodies
- give structure
- and protection
- but need to be shed to grow
- Internal skeleton
- plants have stems instead of skeletons for support and to stretch to the sunlight
NOTES page 111 – 113
Structures for Reproduction- Reproduction is when living things make other living things similar to themselves.
- Many plants reproduce using flower and pollen
- Pollen is taken from one flower to another of the same flower
- Then the flower becomes fertilized and begins to grow a seed
- The seed will have
- a protective covering
- and a source of nutrition.
- Animals reproduce in different ways
- Fish
- Lay eggs underwater rocks then the male fertilizes the eggs.
- The fish then grows inside the egg
- The egg has a source of nutrition and a protective cover
- Mammals
- Males have structures to fertilize eggs within the body of the female.
- Fish
- Many plants reproduce using flower and pollen
- Words to know for a flower
- Stamen – holds and releases the pollen
- Pistil – receives the pollen from another flower
- Pollen tube – grows from the pollen grain, the sperm cell travels down the tube
- Ovary – holds the egg cell
- Sperm cell – from the other flower reaches the egg after it goes down the pollen tube and fertilized the egg
- Fertilized egg grows into a seed.
- In order to live plants and animal need to exchange gases with their environments.
- Animals such as turtles and humans take in air through the mouth or nose and breathe using lungs
- Insects take air in through spiracles (holes in the insects body)
- Fish take oxygen from water through their gills
- Three ways to take in oxygen is lungs, spiracles and gills
- Spiracles often allows oxygen to go directly to body tissue
- Lungs and gills oxygen enters the animal and is transported through a circulatory system to the body’s cells
- Plants
- Have structures similar to spiracles on insects called stomata
- Stomata is located on the leaves
- Stomata helps with photosynthesis
- Carbon dioxide form the air enters the plant through the stomata
- Photosynthesis = the plant uses energy from the sun and carbon dioxide to make sugar or food for the plant.
- Oxygen is also produced and exits through the stomata
- Circulatory system in plants
- Vascular plants = plants with a circulatory system.
- It is similar to human blood vessels
- Plants use the vascular system to transport sugar made in the leaves during photosynthesis to the roots for storage.
12/14/21 - no class today - Quiz on Friday Ch 3 sec 1
12/14/21 - the plant lab should have come home yesterday.
The students need to water and measure the growth of the seeds once a week and keep track of the data in the back of their science copybooks.
5th grade Plant Lab
Name:
Date: 12/10/21
Due date 2/14/22
Title – Growth of Seeds in Different Temperatures
Question – Does temperature affect seed growth?
Hypothesis – If I put a plant in a warm sunny spot Then it will grow quicker than a plant that is put in a cooler spot.
Materials- 2 Cups
- Dirt
- 4 Seeds
- Water
- labels
- Sunlight
- Warmth
- Cool area
- ruler
- Notebook
- Pen
- Gather materials
- Label the cups with your name and
- Warm
- Cool
- Put dirt into each cup – ¾ of the way full
- Add two seeds to each cup
- Cover the seeds up with dirt
- Add a bit of water
- Place in bag to take home
- Put one cup in a warm sunny place
- Put the other cup in a cool sunny place – like a basement or refrigerator
- Each Saturday water the seeds
- Each Saturday measure the seeds growth
- Record the growth under results – label with the date you took the measurement
- Repeat each week until Feb 14
- Finish lab
Measure the growth of the seeds and water once a week.
Keep all data here under results.

Question for next time
12/10/21 - write the procedure for the plant lab in your copybooks
12/6/21 - study test, quizzes, and notes for a test toorrow on Chapter 2.
12/3/21 - Study notes and worksheets for
test on Chapter 2 on Tuesday 12/7
We did not review the test from Chapter 2 sec 1 - 2 yet - we will do that on Monday.
Week of 11/29/21
Test Monday 11/29/21 on Chapter 2 sec 1-2
Then finishing Chapter 2 on forces and shadows.
Quiz on Chapter 2 section 3 on Wednesday
Test on all of Chapter 2 on Monday 12/6
9/27/21 - Study vocabulary and notes
Test on Chapter 1 sec 1-3 on Friday 10/1/21
9/23/21 - We are working on the Scientific Method and doing labs in the classroom. Their labs will be kept in the back of their copybook and will be a test grade. I am giving out an example of what the lab we just did should look like. Then we will do one more lab - just to get the Scientific Method down and then back to matter. The properties of Matter.
Homework - finish lab, study vocab and notes
What's the Matter? No, what is Matter - That is our first lesson!
We will be doing experiments, but we will need supplies. I will email you our needs when we get ready to do an experiment.
Homework - Look over notes and study vocab each night :)HOMEWORK
9/14/21 - Study your notes

5th grade Science – Matter – Ch 1 Notes
Matter = all living and nonliving things are made of matter. Matter is anything that has mass and takes up space.
Everything is matter and matter is made up of elements so everything is elements.
Elements = are the ingredients that make up all the other substances.- Elements cannot be broken down onto other substances with ordinary physical or chemical processes.
- There are over 100 elements
- Most elements are metals
- The properties of metals are – they are good conductors of electricity and heat and they can be shaped into sheets or wires that can bend without breaking.
- Most metals are solids and have gray color. Smooth metal surfaces can reflect light.
- Other examples of metal are calcium, aluminum and mercury
- Some elements are non-metals
- These elements do not conduct heat or electricity
- Some are gases. One example of a gases is oxygen
- Some are solid. One example is carbon.
- Some Elements are semi-metals
- Are sometime like metals and sometimes like non-metals
- For example they may conduct electricity but only when light is shining on them
- One example is silicon
ATOMS- Atoms = smallest part of an element that still has the properties of the element.
- Atom is made of
- PROTONS
- NEUTRONS
- ELECTRONS
- The number of protons determines what element an atom will be
- Atom is made of
The idea of Atomic Theory is that everything is made of small particles.
Atomic Arrangement = the way atoms are connected affects the properties of an element- Example – when carbon atoms are connected as flat sheets = soft and black = the graphite in your pencil. When carbon atoms are connected as pyramids they form diamonds = transparent and hard
- Ex Table salt.
- Example the smallest particle of water is a water molecule.
- Changing the number, kind or position of the atoms in a molecule would result in a molecule of a different substance
- Example – if you add another oxygen to H2O it is no longer water
9/10/21
In your science copybooks - Write a paragraph about one or more of the elements from page 10 and 11 in your science book. The paragraph should include a brief description of the element as well as a description of how it is used or what it is used in.
Due Monday
