Holistic Rating: In-Depth coverage of this standard.
| Pages 25-28 in the "Mixtures and Solutions" Science Stories provide in-depth coverage of this standard. Pages 3-6 provide moderate coverage, introducing the concepts. In contrast to the adopted state texts at this grade level, FOSS for grade 5 does not describe the atom in terms of subatomic particles (protons, electrons, neutrons) or different models of the atom. The National Science Education Standards recommends leaving these terms and concepts for higher grade levels. In Grade 5, neither the California Science Standards nor the California Science Framework mention the parts of the atom or models of the atom. |
