5th Grade Mystery Science Unit: Chemical Magic | Lesson 5 Guided Notes
LESSON 5: WHY DO SOME THINGS EXPLODE?Mystery Doug is amazing at explanation and fun lessons, however, he doesn't always focus directly on NGSS for this grade level, but rather making it more fun. This resource diverts away from Mystery Doug and actually uses a resource known as "Crash Course Kids" to help explain the DCI concept being covered while still using the activity given in Mystery Science in a more standard-focused way. My resource zeroes in on the DCI being covered in that lesson:PS1.

Exploring Density: Specific Gravity
We have opened the fridge and pulled out the oil-vinegar salad dressing, only to see the oil floating on top of the vinegar. Thinking the salad dressing ruined until the bottle is agitated and the oil and vinegar mix together and the salad dressing is saved. But why do the liquids separate in the first place. Some say that it is because oil and water (which is found in vinegars) do not mix.
It is the same thing that occurs when we see news of an oil spill in the ocean. Where the oil floats o

Inclined Plane Lab: How does the ramp angle affect the force needed?
By the end of this inquiry lab, students should have practice measuring multiple angles on different inclined planes that they construct, and students will build up evidence and reasoning to support their claim to answer the question "How does the ramp angle of an inclined plane affect the force needed to pull an object up?" by exploring the practical function of ramps. Students will use the investigation materials to sketch and describe their plan to test and answer the question. Helpful hints
