Give the students opportunities to ask questions to figure out the task that they are doing.   ]]> 2016-03-11 22:09:04 UTC https://padlet.com/cameronrankin17/55gs56yveoze/wish/100572088 cameronrankin17 https://padlet.com/cameronrankin17/55gs56yveoze/wish/100572218 Modeling can begin in the earliest grades, with students’ models progressing from concrete “pictures” and/or physical scale models (e.g., a toy car) to more abstract representations of relevant relationships in later grades, such as a diagram representing forces on a particular object in a system. 

You can have the students create modelings of what they are doing in their science notebooks.]]> 2016-03-11 22:10:57 UTC https://padlet.com/cameronrankin17/55gs56yveoze/wish/100572218 cameronrankin17 https://padlet.com/cameronrankin17/55gs56yveoze/wish/100572370 At all levels, they should engage in investigations that range from those structured by the teacher—in order to expose an issue or question that they would be unlikely to explore on their own (e.g., measuring specific properties of materials)— to those that emerge from students’ own questions.

Science fair projects are a great way for students to plan and carry out investigations from their own questions.  ]]> 2016-03-11 22:13:05 UTC https://padlet.com/cameronrankin17/55gs56yveoze/wish/100572370 cameronrankin17 https://padlet.com/cameronrankin17/55gs56yveoze/wish/100572523 Once collected, data must be presented in a form that can reveal any patterns and relationships and that allows results to be communicated to others.

Have the students create graphs from data they collected during an experiment.  ]]> 2016-03-11 22:15:12 UTC https://padlet.com/cameronrankin17/55gs56yveoze/wish/100572523 cameronrankin17 https://padlet.com/cameronrankin17/55gs56yveoze/wish/100572631 Students are expected to use mathematics to represent physical variables and their relationships, and to make quantitative predictions.

Have students use numbers to make quantitative predictions.   ]]> 2016-03-11 22:16:38 UTC https://padlet.com/cameronrankin17/55gs56yveoze/wish/100572631 cameronrankin17 https://padlet.com/cameronrankin17/55gs56yveoze/wish/100573147 The goal of science is to construct explanations for the causes of phenomena. Students are expected to construct their own explanations, as well as apply standard explanations they learn about from their teachers or reading. 

Have students explain in their own words way something happened.  ]]> 2016-03-11 22:24:25 UTC https://padlet.com/cameronrankin17/55gs56yveoze/wish/100573147 cameronrankin17 https://padlet.com/cameronrankin17/55gs56yveoze/wish/100573224 students should argue for the explanations they construct, defend their interpretations of the associated data, and advocate for the designs they propose.

Students will argue what they believe to happened in an experiment based on evidence they have.  ]]> 2016-03-11 22:25:38 UTC https://padlet.com/cameronrankin17/55gs56yveoze/wish/100573224 cameronrankin17 https://padlet.com/cameronrankin17/55gs56yveoze/wish/100573369 Being able to read, interpret, and produce scientific and technical text

Students will gain knowledge/information from reading and be able to interpret what they read.   ]]> 2016-03-11 22:27:59 UTC https://padlet.com/cameronrankin17/55gs56yveoze/wish/100573369
