Everything you need to teach properties of matter, physical and chemical changes, conservation of mass, and forces. Standards-aligned reading passages, worksheets, and activities for 5th grade — all inside your Workybooks library.
Every resource on this page is aligned to the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) for 5th grade physical science.
Develop a model to describe that matter is made of particles too small to be seen.
Measure and graph quantities to provide evidence that regardless of the type of change that occurs when heating, cooling, or mixing substances, the total weight of matter is conserved.
Make observations and measurements to identify materials based on their properties.
Conduct an investigation to determine whether the mixing of two or more substances results in new substances.
Click any topic to explore reading passages, worksheets, and activities. All resources included with your Workybooks subscription.

Your Workybooks subscription includes this entire physical science unit — plus thousands more standards-aligned resources across K–8 Science, ELA, Math, and Social Studies.
In fifth grade, students explore physical science through the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS), studying the properties of matter, how particles make up all substances, and how matter behaves during physical and chemical changes. The cornerstone concept is conservation of mass.
The 5-PS1 standards ask students to explore four big ideas: modeling particles too small to be seen, measuring to show conservation of mass, identifying materials by their properties, and investigating whether mixing creates new substances.
At Workybooks, we've built this complete 5th grade physical science unit around NGSS performance expectations 5-PS1-1 through 5-PS1-4. Each topic includes a standards-aligned reading passage at the right Lexile level for 5th graders, plus worksheets, activities, and anchor charts.
