Chemical Changes

Grades 4 - 5    

The Chemical Changes integrated science-literacy unit immerses students in learning about chemical reactions, the particulate nature of matter, and other key physical science concepts. The unit has two investigations—each with 10 sessions, in which students engage in the inquiry processes of posing questions, hypothesizing, conducting experiments, and making explanations from evidence. Five student books engage students in reading and talking about these important science concepts and skills. About half of the sessions in the unit have a literacy focus. As students read the books, they learn reading comprehension strategies, such as posing questions. Students also learn to use nonfiction text features to locate information and understand important ideas. Students make explanations from evidence, write scientific procedures, and organize data in tables. Throughout the unit, students are provided with opportunities for oral discourse and discussions focusing on the nature and practices of science.
