      TEKS 5.6C: Properties of Solutions

      • Solutions

        About this lesson

        Learning Target: I can compare the properties of substances before and after they form a solution and demonstrate that matter is conserved in solutions.

        Focuses On:

        • Changes in properties due to mixing
        • Conservation of Matter

        Builds On:

        4.6B:

        investigate and compare a variety of mixtures, including solutions that are composed of liquids in liquids and solids in liquids

        Next Level:

        6.6B:

        investigate the physical properties of matter to distinguish between pure substances, homogeneous mixtures (solutions), and heterogeneous mixtures

        This lesson is designed to deepen student understanding of solutions.

        The lesson begins by having students compare and contrast the properties of individual substances before and after they are mixed to form a solution. It then explores how we can demonstrate that all original substances are still present within the solution, introducing the concept of the conservation of matter.

        This lesson builds upon the basic introduction to solutions from standard 4.6B and prepares students for a deeper understanding of pure substances and mixtures in standard 6.6B.

      Frequently Asked Questions

      How do you teach Properties of Solutions to 5th graders?

      To teach Properties of Solutions to 5th grade Science students, anchor the concept in a hands-on investigation or real-world phenomenon, then build academic vocabulary and scientific reasoning through guided practice. TEKS 5.6C asks students to compare the properties of substances before and after they are combined into a solution and demonstrate that matter is conserved in solutions. Crystal Instruction's free ClearLessons for 5.6C walk through this progression with modeling, guided practice, and built-in checks for understanding, while the ClearSheets provide scaffolded practice. You can download both free on this page.

      What is 5.6C in 5th grade Science?

      TEKS 5.6C is a 5th grade Science standard for Properties of Solutions. It requires students to compare the properties of substances before and after they are combined into a solution and demonstrate that matter is conserved in solutions. It is part of the Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills (TEKS) for Grade 5 Science.

      Where can I find free TEKS 5.6C lessons and worksheets?

      You can download free TEKS 5.6C lessons and worksheets directly on this page — no login or account required. Crystal Instruction provides free PDF versions of our Properties of Solutions ClearLessons and ClearSheets for Grade 5 Science, and each one is also available as an interactive lesson inside the full Crystal Instruction platform.

      What skills are included in 5th grade Properties of Solutions?

      TEKS 5.6C (Properties of Solutions) covers the following 5th grade Science skills: students learn to compare the properties of substances before and after they are combined into a solution and demonstrate that matter is conserved in solutions.
