5th Grade Science – Chemistry

Workshop Objectives

This is a hand-on workshop that focuses on engaging lab activities that teach the standards for 5th grade chemistry. By the end of the workshop teachers will be able to:

Objective 1 – Conservation of Matter a. Conservation of Mass Lab: Atomic Nuts & Bolts b. Mass and Change of State Lab: See Thru Fat Lab: Crusty Cups

Objective 2 – Physical Properties of Matter a. Identify the physical properties of matter Lab: Ironing Out Sand (magnetism) Flash Cards: Physical Properties Inventory

b. Evidence a Physical Change has occurred Demo: Technicolor Fog Factory (state) Puzzle: The Paper Door (shape and size) c. Describe a substance as physical change Demo: Avalanche in a Cup (absorptivity)

Objective 3 – Chemical Properties of Matter a. Identify evidence of a chemical reaction Demo: Instant Sunshine (color) Lab: Smokescreen on Demand b. Explain release of gas affects final weight Lab: Sizzling Sunset c. Cite examples of chemical reactions in life Lab: Foam Gnomes (construction insulation) d. Compare a physical to a chemical change is produced. Lab: Physical vs. Chemical Changes e. Changing one of the materials in a chemical reaction and see how that will change the results Demo: Mendeleev’s Toothpaste

Objective 1 – Conservation of Matter a. Compare the mass of an object assembled to the mass of its individual parts. b. Compare the mass of a specified quantity of matter before and after melting and freezing. c. Investigate the masses of a liquid and a solid after the solid has been dissolved and then recovered from the liquid. d. Investigate chemical reactions and the mass of the materials before and after a reaction.

Objective 2 – Physical Changes of Matter a. Identify the physical properties of matter. b. Compare changes in substances that indicate a physical change has occurred. c. Describe the appearance of a substance before and after a physical change.

Objective 3 – Chemical Changes of Matter a. Identify evidence of a chemical reaction. b. Explain why the measured weight of a remaining product is less than its reactants when a gas c. Note chemical reactions in daily life. d. Compare physical and chemical changes. e. Hypothesize how changing one of the materials in a chemical reaction will change the results.

Time Requirement: 90 Minutes
