Physical Science Workbook | Grade 5 | Experiments & STEM Activities | 96 Pages

The On The Mark Press Grade 5 Physical Science Workbook covers 17 hands-on experiment topics across four core physical science areas in 96 curriculum-aligned pages — designed for homeschool and classroom use — at $28.

• 17 Hands-On Experiment Topics — Each topic is built around a structured experiment rather than passive reading; kids develop scientific method habits — hypothesis, observation, and conclusion — through direct engagement with physical science concepts.
• Properties of Matter & Chemistry — Real classroom chemistry experiments introduce material properties, states of matter, and basic chemical reactions; foundational knowledge for understanding how the physical world is constructed and how it can be manipulated.
• Forces & Simple Machines — Covers levers, pulleys, inclined planes, and mechanical advantage; kids learn how force is transferred and multiplied — directly applicable to understanding tools, construction, and self-sufficient problem-solving.
• Forces on Structures & Mechanisms — Explores how structures are engineered to withstand load and stress; builds spatial reasoning and engineering intuition that transfers to real-world building and repair skills.
• Electricity & Magnetism — Circuits, magnets, and electrical mechanisms are introduced through hands-on activities; lays the groundwork for understanding solar, battery, and off-grid power systems at a conceptual level.
• Teacher & Parent Support Built In — Every section includes teacher notes with learning intentions, success criteria, materials lists, differentiation suggestions, and expected results; reduces prep time and ensures experiments run correctly the first time.
• 96 Pages, Curriculum-Aligned — Structured content maps to Grade 5 physical science standards; suitable for homeschool curricula, classroom supplementation, and independent study by motivated learners.
