Moving up the neck to the 5th fret, is the next scale form.
These are all the same notes as the previous form, just
in a different place on the neck. As you can see there are
actually 2 different fingerings in this position. You are
either going to shift down 1 fret for the 4th and 3rd strings,
or stretch with your 4th finger and grab those same notes
on the 5th and 4th strings.
This scale form is sometimes referred to as the Dorian
scale form. If you thought of the first note that you played
(A) as the root, this would be the mode A Dorian. Modes
are a whole other topic, so don't worry if you don't really
understand what that means at the moment. It is just another
name for you to refer to this particular scale fingering
as.
