Practice 5: Using Mathematics and Computational Thinking

# data[].attributes.body
-  Decide if qualitative or quantitative data are best to determine whether a proposed object or tool meets criteria for success.
(research methods were decided on to answer the question)
-  Organize simple data sets to reveal patterns that suggest relationships.
(Pictures of seeds dug up and descriptions were organized in a data table)

-  Represent data in tables and/or various graphical displays (bar graphs, pictographs and/or pie charts) to reveal patterns that indicate relationships.
(Pictures were taken daily and added to a table to show plant growth over time)

Practice 8: Obtaining, Evaluating and Communicating Information

# data[].attributes.body
-  Read and comprehend grade appropriate complex texts and/or other reliable media to summarize and obtain scientific and technical ideas and describe how they are supported by evidence.
(Students will research PCB historical use and use the information to create a presentation)
-  Communicate scientific and/or technical information orally and/or in written formats, including various forms of media as well as tables, diagrams, and charts.
(Students will create a PSA about PCBs using information they learn through the unit)

- Use data to evaluate claims about cause and effect
(Students will collect information to learn about the negative affects of PCB pollution on the Harbor and the community and how the clean up efforts are affecting the pollution levels today)

-  Represent data in tables and/or various graphical displays (bar graphs, pictographs and/or pie charts) to reveal patterns that indicate relationships.
(Observations were recording in a table)
-  Analyze and interpret data to make sense of phenomena, using logical reasoning, mathematics, and/or computation
(Observations were used to determine why plants did not grow well)
-  Compare and contrast data collected by different groups in order to discuss similarities and differences in their findings
(Students in the class compared their data to discuss differences between each garden)

-  Represent data in tables and/or various graphical displays (bar graphs, pictographs and/or pie charts) to reveal patterns that indicate relationships.
(Data was collected in a table and used to answer questions about Albedo)
-  Analyze and interpret data to make sense of phenomena, using logical reasoning, mathematics, and/or computation
(The data was used to determine how the color of items affects their reflectivity)

Practice 3: Planning and Carrying Out Investigations

# data[].attributes.body
Make observations and/or measurements to produce data to serve as the basis for evidence for an explanation of a phenomenon or test a design solution.
(Pictures were taken of compost each week and items were dissected twice to make observations to explain the phenomenon of decomposition)

Practice 3: Planning and Carrying out Investigations

# data[].attributes.body
- Plan and conduct an investigation collaboratively to produce data to serve as the basis for evidence, using fair tests in which variables are controlled and the number of trials considered.
(The Albedo app used allowed for fair testing)

# data[].attributes.body
- Plan and conduct an investigation collaboratively to produce data to serve as the basis for evidence, using fair tests in which variables are controlled and the number of trials considered.
(The research question was investigated by digging up the plants and collecting qualitative data about plant growth)
- Make observations and/or measurements to produce data to serve as the basis for evidence for an explanation of a phenomenon or test a design solution.
(Observations were recorded in a table and were used as evidence in a FlipGrid video in order to answer the question)
- Make predictions about what would happen if a variable changes.
(Predictions were made about what would happen if plants were watered on a different schedule or if the growing container was larger)

# data[].attributes.body
-Develop a model using an analogy, example, or abstract representation to describe a scientific principle or design solution.
(Created a Stock and Flow Model to show how PCBs travel in a system)
- Use a model to test cause and effect relationships or interactions concerning the functioning of a natural or designed system.
(Created a Stock and Flow model to show how PCBs flow through abiotic and biotic factors)

Practice 1: Asking Questions and Defining Problems

# data[].attributes.body
- Ask questions that can be investigated and predict reasonable outcomes based on patterns such as cause and effect relationships.
(The question of, "What was happening underneath the soil and what might be affecting the plants poor growth?" was a testable question)
