Science Practices by Haley Fox https://padlet.com/hafox34/hdp1koxsjax7 The 8 Science Practices to use with students en-us 2017-03-01 00:47:59 UTC 2025-10-03 07:22:28 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet-assets.s3.amazonaws.com/icons/Rocket.png 1. Asking questions/defining problems hafox34 https://padlet.com/hafox34/hdp1koxsjax7/wish/156900216 Students ask questions about texts or observations, or to define a problem. 
ex: Students can ask questions and predict the outcomes based on patterns they see]]> 2017-03-01 00:49:28 UTC https://padlet.com/hafox34/hdp1koxsjax7/wish/156900216 2. Developing and Using Models hafox34 https://padlet.com/hafox34/hdp1koxsjax7/wish/156900384 Students use pictures or diagrams as models to aid their questioning and explanations. Also helps them make predictions and communicate ideas. 
ex: Students can use models to describe or predict ideas, or create their own model to represent data ]]> 2017-03-01 00:50:59 UTC https://padlet.com/hafox34/hdp1koxsjax7/wish/156900384 3. Planning & Carrying out investigations hafox34 https://padlet.com/hafox34/hdp1koxsjax7/wish/156901801 Students investigate ideas from their own questions or from teacher's questions. 
ex: Students can make predictions about what would happen if a variable changes]]> 2017-03-01 01:01:20 UTC https://padlet.com/hafox34/hdp1koxsjax7/wish/156901801 4. Analyzing & interpreting data hafox34 https://padlet.com/hafox34/hdp1koxsjax7/wish/156902038 Students present data in a way that can reveal patterns & relationships
ex: Students can represent their data in tables or graphs]]> 2017-03-01 01:03:20 UTC https://padlet.com/hafox34/hdp1koxsjax7/wish/156902038 5. Using math & computational thinking hafox34 https://padlet.com/hafox34/hdp1koxsjax7/wish/156902206 Students use math in scientific investigations and in analysis of data. 
ex: Students can measure, estimate, and graph quantities. ]]> 2017-03-01 01:04:39 UTC https://padlet.com/hafox34/hdp1koxsjax7/wish/156902206 6. Constructing explanations & designing solutions hafox34 https://padlet.com/hafox34/hdp1koxsjax7/wish/156902335 Students can construct their own explanations, using evidence, or by creating a design that solves a problem. They find a solution through trial , error, and refining.
ex: Students can identify evidence that supports an explanation. ]]> 2017-03-01 01:05:52 UTC https://padlet.com/hafox34/hdp1koxsjax7/wish/156902335 7. Engaging in argument from evidence hafox34 https://padlet.com/hafox34/hdp1koxsjax7/wish/156902576 Students defend or advance a new idea or explanation.
ex: Students can construct and support and argument using evidence and data]]> 2017-03-01 01:07:34 UTC https://padlet.com/hafox34/hdp1koxsjax7/wish/156902576 8. Obtaining, evaluating, & communicating information hafox34 https://padlet.com/hafox34/hdp1koxsjax7/wish/156902788 Students read & produce their own scientific text. They communicate clearly and persuasively.
ex: Students can read and comprehend grade-level texts to summarize and obtain scientific ideas. They can describe how they are supported by evidence. ]]> 2017-03-01 01:09:03 UTC https://padlet.com/hafox34/hdp1koxsjax7/wish/156902788
