Currrent Standard
• Standard 1: Students understand the processes of scientific investigation and design, conduct, communicate about, and evaluate such investigations. (Grades K - 12)
Standard's Subset
In grades K-4, what students know and are able to do includes asking questions and stating predictions (hypotheses) that can be addressed through scientific investigation; (Grades K - 4)
In grades K-4, what students know and are able to do includes communicating about investigations and explanations. (Grades K - 4)
In grades K-4, what students know and are able to do includes selecting and using simple devices to gather data related to an investigation (for example, length, volume, and mass measuring instruments, thermometers, watches, magnifiers,
microscopes, calculators, and computers); (Grades K - 4)
In grades K-4, what students know and are able to do includes using data based on observations to construct a reasonable explanation; and (Grades K - 4)
As students in grades 5-8 extend their knowledge, what they know and are able to do includes asking questions and stating hypotheses that lead to different types of scientific investigations (for example, experimentation, collecting specimens, constructing models, researching scientific literature); (Grades 5 - 8)
As students in grades 5-8 extend their knowledge, what they know and are able to do includes communicating results of their investigations in appropriate ways (for example, written reports, graphic displays, oral presentations); (Grades 5 - 8)
As students in grades 5-8 extend their knowledge, what they know and are able to do includes creating a written plan for an investigation; (Grades 5 - 8)
As students in grades 5-8 extend their knowledge, what they know and are able to do includes explaining that scientific investigations sometimes result in unexpected findings that lead to new questions and more investigations; and (Grades 5 - 8)
As students in grades 5-8 extend their knowledge, what they know and are able to do includes giving examples of how collaboration can be useful in solving scientific problems and sharing findings. (Grades 5 - 8)
As students in grades 5-8 extend their knowledge, what they know and are able to do includes identifying and evaluating alternative explanations and procedures; (Grades 5 - 8)
As students in grades 5-8 extend their knowledge, what they know and are able to do includes interpreting and evaluating data in order to formulate conclusions; (Grades 5 - 8)
As students in grades 5-8 extend their knowledge, what they know and are able to do includes using appropriate tools, technologies, and measurement units to gather and organize data; (Grades 5 - 8)
As students in grades 5-8 extend their knowledge, what they know and are able to do includes using examples to demonstrate that scientific ideas are used to explain previous observations
and to predict future events (for example, plate tectonics and future earthquake activity); (Grades 5 - 8)
As students in grades 5-8 extend their knowledge, what they know and are able to do includes using metric units in measuring, calculating, and reporting results; (Grades 5 - 8)
As students in grades 9-12 extend their knowledge, what they know and are able to do includes asking questions and stating hypotheses, using prior scientific knowledge to help guide their development; (Grades 9 - 12)
As students in grades 9-12 extend their knowledge, what they know and are able to do includes communicating and evaluating scientific thinking that leads to particular conclusions; (Grades 9 - 12)
As students in grades 9-12 extend their knowledge, what they know and are able to do includes constructing and revising scientific explanations and models, using evidence, logic, and experiments that include identifying and controlling variables; (Grades 9 - 12)
As students in grades 9-12 extend their knowledge, what they know and are able to do includes creating and defending a written plan of action for a scientific investigation; (Grades 9 - 12)
As students in grades 9-12 extend their knowledge, what they know and are able to do includes explaining the difference between a scientific theory and a scientific hypothesis. (Grades 9 - 12)
As students in grades 9-12 extend their knowledge, what they know and are able to do includes identifying major sources of error or uncertainty within an investigation (for example, particular measuring devices and experimental procedures); (Grades 9 - 12)
As students in grades 9-12 extend their knowledge, what they know and are able to do includes recognizing and analyzing alternative explanations and models; and (Grades 9 - 12)
As students in grades 9-12 extend their knowledge, what they know and are able to do includes selecting and using appropriate technologies to gather, process, and analyze data and to report
information related to an investigation; (Grades 9 - 12)
