Science.6.5.E

Previous Next
The student is expected to analyze and explain how energy flows and matter cycles through systems and how energy and matter are conserved through a variety of systems;

A student expectation is directly related to the knowledge and skills statement, is more specific about how students demonstrate their learning, and always begins with a verb. Student expectations are further broken down into their component parts, often referred to as “breakouts.”

Side-by-Side 

SCIENCE.6.5.E — Vertical Alignment

Vertical alignment shows student expectations in the same subject area at different grade levels that are related to or build upon one another.

Previous grade
S.K.5.E

identify forms of energy and properties of matter;

S.1.5.E

identify forms of energy and properties of matter;

S.2.5.E

identify forms of energy and properties of matter;

S.3.5.E

investigate the flow of energy and cycling of matter through systems;

S.4.5.E

investigate how energy flows and matter cycles through systems and how matter is conserved;

S.5.5.E
investigate how energy flows and matter cycles through systems and how matter is conserved;
S.6.5.E
analyze and explain how energy flows and matter cycles through systems and how energy and matter are conserved through a variety of systems;
S.7.5.E
analyze and explain how energy flows and matter cycles through systems and how energy and matter are conserved through a variety of systems;
S.8.5.E
analyze and explain how energy flows and matter cycles through systems and how energy and matter are conserved through a variety of systems;

SCIENCE.6.5.E — Breakout of skills

Breakouts are the component parts that make up a student expectation. A breakout shows a distinct concept a student should know or a distinct skill that a student should be able to demonstrate.

The student is expected to
analyze how
energy flows through systems
energy [is] conserved through a variety of systems
matter cycles through systems
matter [is] conserved through a variety of systems
explain how
energy flows through systems
energy [is] conserved through a variety of systems
matter cycles through systems
matter [is] conserved through a variety of systems

Cross-curricular Connections

The cross-curricular connections are designed to help educators make content connections between the science TEKS and math, English language arts and reading, social studies, and technology applications. The standards below illustrate alignment between grade level content areas which may help educators develop cross-curricular lessons. These connections do not represent all possible connections that might be made.
