California Leveled Science Readers (Grade 5) Content leveled readers teach science concepts, vocabulary, and reading skills – at each student’s reading level – and allow students to read and explore the wonders of nonfiction. Leveled science readers deliver science content to help address the individual needs of all students. They reinforce reading skills and strategies while promoting science understanding. Each grade 5 science reader is a richly illustrated, selfcontained little book with 10 to 14 double pages.

Physical Sciences Standards Preview 1.e Students know scientists have developed instruments that can create discrete images of atoms and molecules that show that the atoms and molecules often occur in wellordered arrays Standard Set Physical Sciences Elements and their combinations account for all the varied types of matter in the world As a basis for understanding this concept: 1.b Students know all matter is made of atoms, which may combine to form molecules 1.f Students know differences in chemical and physical properties of substances are used to separate mixtures and identify compounds 1.c Students know metals have properties in common, such as high electrical and thermal conductivity Some metals, such as aluminum (Al), iron (Fe), nickel (Ni), copper (Cu), silver (Ag), and gold (Au), are pure elements; others, such as steel and brass, are composed of a combination of elemental metals 1.h Students know living organisms and most materials are composed of just a few elements 1.i Students know the common properties of salts, such as sodium chloride (NaCl) 1.d Students know that each element is made of one kind of atom and that the elements are organized in the periodic table by their chemical properties Genre Nonfiction Comprehension Skill Make Inferences Text Features • • • • Captions Diagrams Labels Glossary Science Content Matter Scott Foresman Science 5.1 ISBN 0-328-23564-4 ì
