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
5	c13	Density is the ratio of a mass and its volume.	5.06.6.A.2	2. Show that equal volumes of different substances usually have different masses. (A. Structure and Properties of Matter)
5	c14	As matter heats up , it expands, causing the matter to become less dense.	5.06.6.A.2	2. Show that equal volumes of different substances usually have different masses. (A. Structure and Properties of Matter)
5	c14	As matter heats up , it expands, causing the matter to become less dense.	5.06.8.A.2	2. Recognize that the phase of matter is determined by the arrangement and motion of atoms and molecules and that the motion of these particles is related to the energy of the system. (A. Structure and Properties of Matter)
5	c15	Convection is the circulation of fluid that results from energy transfer.	5.07.8.B.3	3. Describe how heat can be conducted through materials or transferred across space by radiation and know that if the material is a fluid, convection currents may aid the transfer of heat. (B. Energy Transformations)
5	p12	Describe how materials of different density interact.	5.06.6.A.2	2. Show that equal volumes of different substances usually have different masses. (A. Structure and Properties of Matter)
5	p13	Observe how heating and cooling of fluids move air in a system.	5.07.8.B.3	3. Describe how heat can be conducted through materials or transferred across space by radiation and know that if the material is a fluid, convection currents may aid the transfer of heat. (B. Energy Transformations)
5	p14	Explain how energy transfer drives the process of convection.	5.07.8.B.3	3. Describe how heat can be conducted through materials or transferred across space by radiation and know that if the material is a fluid, convection currents may aid the transfer of heat. (B. Energy Transformations)
