A. Explain that there are differing
sets or procedures for guiding scientific investigations and procedures are
determined by the nature of the investigation, safety considerations and
appropriate tools. |
1. Explain that variables and
controls can affect the results of an investigation and that ideally one
variable should be tested at a time; however it is not always possible to
control all variables. 2. Identify simple independent and
dependent variables. 3. Formulate and identify questions
to guide scientific investigations that connect to science concepts and can
be answered through scientific investigations. 4. Choose the appropriate tools and
instruments and use relevant safety procedures to complete scientific
investigations. |
|
|
B. Analyze and interpret data from
scientific investigations using appropriate mathematical skills in order to
draw valid conclusions. |
5. Analyze alternative scientific
explanation and predictions and recognize that there may be more than one
good way to interpret a given set of data. 6. Identify faulty reasoning and
statements that go beyond the evidence or misinterpret the evidence. 7. Use graphs, tables and charts to
study physical phenomena and infer mathematical relationships between
variables (e.g., speed and density). |
