They can be driven by curiosity about the world, inspired by the predictions of a model, theory, or findings from previous investigations, or they can be stimulated by the need to solve a problem. ]]> 2018-02-27 23:05:32 UTC https://padlet.com/kasdynwatt/ds4lbqhfmuce/wish/236197358 kasdynwatt https://padlet.com/kasdynwatt/ds4lbqhfmuce/wish/236197471 Models include diagrams, physical replicas, mathematical representations, analogies, and computer simulations. Although models do not correspond exactly to the real world, they bring certain features into focus while obscuring others. ]]> 2018-02-27 23:06:03 UTC https://padlet.com/kasdynwatt/ds4lbqhfmuce/wish/236197471 kasdynwatt https://padlet.com/kasdynwatt/ds4lbqhfmuce/wish/236197655 Whether students are doing science or engineering, it is always important for them to state the goal of an investigation, predict outcomes, and plan a course of action that will provide the best evidence to support their conclusions. Students should design investigations that generate data to provide evidence to support claims they make about phenomena. ]]> 2018-02-27 23:07:07 UTC https://padlet.com/kasdynwatt/ds4lbqhfmuce/wish/236197655 kasdynwatt https://padlet.com/kasdynwatt/ds4lbqhfmuce/wish/236197766 As students mature, they are expected to expand their capabilities to use a range of tools for tabulation, graphical representation, visualization, and statistical analysis. Students are also expected to improve their abilities to interpret data by identifying significant features and patterns, use mathematics to represent relationships between variables, and take into account sources of error. ]]> 2018-02-27 23:07:47 UTC https://padlet.com/kasdynwatt/ds4lbqhfmuce/wish/236197766 kasdynwatt https://padlet.com/kasdynwatt/ds4lbqhfmuce/wish/236197882 Computers and digital tools can enhance the power of mathematics by automating calculations, approximating solutions to problems that cannot be calculated precisely, and analyzing large data sets available to identify meaningful patterns. Students are expected to use laboratory tools connected to computers for observing, measuring, recording, and processing data. ]]> 2018-02-27 23:08:25 UTC https://padlet.com/kasdynwatt/ds4lbqhfmuce/wish/236197882 kasdynwatt https://padlet.com/kasdynwatt/ds4lbqhfmuce/wish/236198039 Students are expected to construct their own explanations, as well as apply standard explanations they learn about from their teachers or reading. ]]> 2018-02-27 23:09:07 UTC https://padlet.com/kasdynwatt/ds4lbqhfmuce/wish/236198039 kasdynwatt https://padlet.com/kasdynwatt/ds4lbqhfmuce/wish/236198159 Student engagement in scientific argumentation is critical if students are to understand the culture in which scientists live, and how to apply science and engineering for the benefit of society. As such, argument is a process based on evidence and reasoning that leads to explanations acceptable by the scientific community and design solutions acceptable by the engineering community. ]]> 2018-02-27 23:09:40 UTC https://padlet.com/kasdynwatt/ds4lbqhfmuce/wish/236198159 kasdynwatt https://padlet.com/kasdynwatt/ds4lbqhfmuce/wish/236198328 Communicating information, evidence, and ideas can be done in multiple ways: using tables, diagrams, graphs, models, interactive displays, and equations as well as orally, in writing, and through extended discussions. ]]> 2018-02-27 23:10:24 UTC https://padlet.com/kasdynwatt/ds4lbqhfmuce/wish/236198328
