Investigation 5

Terms in this table:

• “Investigation” is the number of the investigation
• “Materials Concept Code” is a reference number based on the science concepts and processes listed in the Overview section of the teacher’s manual
• “Materials Concept” is the text of the science concept or processes listed in the teacher’s manual
• “Indicator Code” is a reference number based on Cumulative Progress Indicators from the New Jersey Core Curriculum Content Standards (2002)
• “Framework Indicator Text” is the text of the progress indicator; the conceptual “strand” for the indicator is in parentheses

Investigation	Materials Concept Code	Materials Concept	Indicator Code	Framework Indicator Text
05	c11	Limestone is a sedimentary rock composed mainly of calcium carbonate; it is formed by physical and biological processes.	5.08.6.C.1	1. Summarize the process involved in the rock cycle and describe the characteristics of the rocks involved. (C. Processes that Shape the Earth)
05	c11	Limestone is a sedimentary rock composed mainly of calcium carbonate; it is formed by physical and biological processes.	5.08.8.C.1	1. Explain how Earth's landforms and materials are created through constructive and destructive processes. (C. Processes that Shape the Earth)
05	c12	Prehistoric environments can be inferred from evidence gathered from rocks and fossils.	5.08.8.C.2	2. Show how successive layers of sedimentary rock and the fossils contained in them can be used to confirm the age, history, changing life forms, and geology of Earth. (C. Processes that Shape the Earth)
05	p16	Identify sediments in limestone.	5.01.8.B.3	3. Collect, organize, and interpret the data that result from experiments. (B. Inquiry and Problem Solving)
05	p16	Identify sediments in limestone.	5.01.8.C.2	2. Understand and practice safety procedures for conducting science investigations. (C. Safety)
05	p16	Identify sediments in limestone.	5.08.8.A.1	1. Reinforce indicators from previous grade level. (Grade 4: 1. Observe that most rocks and soils are made of several substances or minerals; 2. Observe that the properties of soil vary from place to place and will affect the soil's ability to support life; 3. Recognize that fossils provide evidence about the plants and animals that lived long ago and the nature of the environment at that time.) (A. Earth's Properties and Materials)

05	p17	Investigate how carbon dioxide contributes to the precipitation of calcium carbonate in water.	5.06.8.B.1	1. Show how substances can chemically react with each other to form new substances having properties different from those of the original substances. (B. Chemical Reactions)
05	p17	Investigate how carbon dioxide contributes to the precipitation of calcium carbonate in water.	5.08.8.C.1	1. Explain how Earth's landforms and materials are created through constructive and destructive processes. (C. Processes that Shape the Earth)
