Idaho Grade 5 Science Topics

These are the 16 science standards Idaho sets for grade 5, from the Idaho Science Content Standards, grouped and ordered exactly the way the state's own standards document groups them. Each one is tagged with its official code so you can trace it straight back to the state document.

The full text of every grade 5 science standard in the Idaho Science Content Standards. If your Idaho classroom or report card mentions a code, you will find it here.

PS Physical science

  • PS-1.1Particles, Atoms, Elements, and CompoundsDevelop a model to describe that matter is made of particles too small to be seen
  • PS-1.2Mixtures, Solutions, and Conservation of MatterMeasure 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
  • PS-1.3Material Properties and UsesMake observations and measurements to identify materials based on their properties
  • PS-1.4Chemical and Physical ChangesConduct an investigation to determine whether the mixing of two or more substances results in new substances
  • PS-2.1Forces, Motion, and InteractionsSupport an argument that Earth's gravitational force exerted on objects is directed downward
  • PS-3.1Energy in Food and Living SystemsUse 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

LS Life science

  • LS-1.1Organism Needs, Structures, and Life CyclesSupport an argument that plants get what they need for growth chiefly from air, water, and energy from the Sun
  • LS-2.1Organism Needs, Structures, and Life CyclesAnalyze and interpret data from fossils to provide evidence of the types of organisms and the environments that existed long ago and compare those to living organisms and their environments
  • LS-2.2Organism Needs, Structures, and Life CyclesConstruct an argument with evidence for how the variations in characteristics among individuals of the same species may provide advantages in surviving, finding mates, and reproducing
  • LS-2.3Organism Needs, Structures, and Life CyclesMake a claim about the merit of a solution to a problem caused when the environment changes and the types of plants and animals living there may change
  • LS-2.4Organism Needs, Structures, and Life CyclesDevelop a model to describe the movement of matter among plants, animals, decomposers, and the environment

ESS Earth and space science

  • ESS-1.1Sun, Moon, Earth, Stars, and Space SystemsSupport an argument that differences in the apparent brightness of the Sun compared to other stars is due to their relative distances from the Earth
  • ESS-1.2Sun, Moon, Earth, Stars, and Space SystemsRepresent data in graphical displays to reveal patterns of daily changes in length and direction of shadows, day and night, and the seasonal appearance of some stars in the night sky
  • ESS-2.1Water Cycle, Weather, Climate, and AtmosphereDevelop a model using an example to describe ways the geosphere, biosphere, hydrosphere, and/or atmosphere interact
  • ESS-2.2Earth's Water, Freshwater, and Saltwater ResourcesDescribe and graph the relative amounts of fresh and salt water in various reservoirs, to interpret and analyze the distribution of water on Earth
  • ESS-3.1Natural Resources and Human ImpactsObtain and combine information about ways communities protect Earth's resources and environment using scientific ideas

Idaho Grade 5 Science FAQ

Does Idaho test science in grade 5?

Yes. Idaho students take ISAT Science in grade 5. Idaho also participates in Smarter Balanced for ELA/Math. ISAT Science is separate.

Which standards does grade 5 science in Idaho follow?

Idaho follows the Idaho Science Content Standards, published by the Idaho Department of Education. All 16 of this grade's standards are listed further down the page with their official codes.

How long are the practice tests?

Each of the six practice tests has 35 questions and a 60-minute timer. The timer auto-submits at zero and you get your score, a breakdown by science area, and a written explanation for every question.

Is any of this free?
