⏱️ ~1 min read

Must-do topics

  • Matter: structure of matter; conservation; mixtures vs solutions.
  • Forces & Motion: gravity, friction, simple machines.
  • Earth Systems: water cycle; Earth–Sun–Moon system (phases, eclipses).
  • Ecosystems: food webs, energy flow, human impact.
  • Engineering: design with constraints.

Top traps

  • Thinking matter disappears (conservation).
  • Confusing mass vs weight (gravity context).
  • Moon phases = Earth’s shadow (wrong; that’s eclipse).
  • Mixing food web direction (arrows show energy flow).

Quick checks

  • Weigh ice before/after melting — what changed?
  • Which simple machine: lever/pulley/wedge?
  • Draw Moon phases (new, first quarter, full).
  • Build small food web diagram.

You will make

  • Matter Conservation Jar (ice → water → vapor).
  • Simple Machine Hunt (around home/school).
  • Moon Phase Wheel.
  • Food Web Poster.

Daily plan (25–30 min)

  • 10 min vocab/mini-demo.
  • 10 min chart/diagram.
  • 5–10 min reflection.
