Knowledge and Skills for Science
Mathematics TEKS for 4th & 5th grade:
measurement, estimation, judgment of reasonableness
(4.11) Measurement.
The student selects and uses appropriate units and procedures to measure
weight and capacity. The student is expected to:
(A) estimate and measure weight using standard units including ounces,
pounds, grams, and kilograms; and
(B) estimate and measure capacity using standard units including milliliters,
liters, cups, pints, quarts, and gallons.
(4.12) Measurement. The student applies measurement concepts. The student
is expected to measure to solve problems involving length, including
perimeter, time, temperature, and area.
(5.10) Measurement. The student selects and uses appropriate units
and procedures to measure volume. The student is expected to:
(A) measure volume using concrete models of cubic units; and
(B) estimate volume in cubic units.
(5.11) Measurement. The student applies measurement
concepts. The student is expected to:
(A) measure to solve problems involving length (including perimeter),
weight, capacity, time, temperature, and area; and
(B) describe numerical relationships between units of measure within
the same measurement system such as an inch is one-twelfth of a foot.
Science TEKS for 4th & 5th grade:
measurement, estimation, judgment of reasonableness
(4.4)Scientific processes. The student knows how to use a variety of
tools and methods to conduct science inquiry. The student is expected
to:
(A) collect and analyze information using tools including calculators,
safety goggles, microscopes, cameras, sound recorders, computers, hand
lenses, rulers, thermometers, meter sticks, timing devices, balances,
and compasses;
(4.7)Science concepts. The student knows that matter has physical
properties. The student is expected to:
(A) observe and record changes in the states of matter caused by the
addition or reduction of heat; and
(B) conduct tests, compare data, and draw conclusions about physical
properties of matter including states of matter, conduction, density,
and buoyancy.
(5.4)Scientific processes. The student knows how to use a variety
of tools and methods to conduct science inquiry. The student is expected
to:
(A) collect and analyze information using tools including calculators,
microscopes, cameras, sound recorders, computers, hand lenses, rulers,
thermometers, compasses, balances, hot plates, meter sticks, timing
devices, magnets, collecting nets, and safety goggles;
(5.7)Science concepts. The student knows that matter has physical properties.
The student is expected to:
(A) classify matter based on its physical properties including magnetism,
physical
state, and the ability to conduct or insulate heat, electricity, and
sound;
(B) demonstrate that some mixtures maintain the physical properties
of their ingredients;
(C) identify changes that can occur in the physical properties of the
ingredients of solutions such as dissolving sugar in water; and
(D) observe and measure characteristic properties of substances that
remain constant such as boiling points and melting points.
