Investigation 8

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

08	p26	Observe and compare the properties of sedimentary, igneous, and metamorphic, rocks.	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)
