|
Sixth Grade Indicators
| 6-1.1 |
Use appropriate tools
and instruments (including a spring scale, beam
balance, barometer, and sling psychrometer) safely
and accurately when conducting a controlled scientific
investigation. |
| 6-1.4 |
Use a
technological design process to plan and produce
a solution to a problem or a product (including
identifying a problem, designing a solution or
a product, implementing the design, and evaluating
the solution or the product). |
| 6-4.2 |
Summarize the interrelationships
among the dynamic processes of the water cycle
(including precipitation, evaporation, transpiration,
condensation, surface-water flow, and groundwater
flow). |
Top
Seventh Grade Indicators
| 7-1.2 |
Generate questions
that can be answered through scientific investigation |
| 7-1.3 |
Explain the reasons for
testing one independent variable at a time in a controlled scientific
investigation. |
| 7-1.4 |
Explain the importance that repeated
trials and a well-chosen sample size have with regard to the validity
of a controlled scientific investigation. |
| 7-1.6 |
Critique a conclusion drawn from a scientific
investigation. |
| 7-4.3 |
Explain the interaction
among changes in the environment due to natural hazards (including
landslides, wildfires, and floods), changes in populations, and limiting
factors (including climate and the availability of food and water,
space, and shelter). |
| 7-4.5 |
Summarize how the location
and movement of water on Earth’s surface through groundwater
zones and surface-water drainage basins, called watersheds,
are important to ecosystems and to human activities. |
Top
Eighth Grade Indicators
| 8-1.1 |
Design a controlled scientific investigation. |
| 8-1.3 |
Construct explanations and
conclusions from interpretations of data obtained during
a controlled scientific investigation. |
| 8-1.4 |
Generate questions
for further study on the basis of prior investigations |
| 8-3.7 |
Illustrate the creation
and changing of landforms that have occurred through
geologic processes (including volcanic eruptions and
mountain-building forces). |
| 8-3.9 |
Identify
and illustrate geologic features of South Carolina
and other regions of the world through the use of imagery
(including aerial photography and satellite imagery)
and topographic maps. |
| 8-5.2 |
Use the formula for average
speed, v = d/t, to solve real-world problems. |
| 8-5.3 |
Analyze the effects of forces
(including gravity and friction) on the speed and direction
of an object. |
| 8-5.4 |
Predict how varying the
amount of force or mass will affect the motion of an
object. |
