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. |
| 6-1.2 |
Differentiate
between observation and inference during the analysis
and interpretation of data. |
| 6-1.5 |
Use appropriate safety
procedures when conducting investigations. |
Top
Seventh Grade Indicators
| 7-1.1 |
Use appropriate tools and
instruments (including a microscope) safely and accurately when conducting
a controlled scientific investigation. |
| 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. |
| 7-1.7 |
Use appropriate safety procedures when
conducting investigations. |
| 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. |
| 7-5.6 |
Distinguish between acids and bases and
use indicators (including litmus paper, pH paper, and phenolphthalein)
to determine their relative pH. |
| 7-5.10 |
Compare physical changes
(including changes in size, shape, and state) to chemical changes
that are the result of chemical reactions (including changes in color
or temperature and formation of a precipitate or gas). |
Top
Eighth Grade Indicators
| 8-1.1 |
Design a controlled scientific investigation. |
| 8-1.2 |
Recognize the importance of
a systematic process for safely and accurately conducting
investigations. |
| 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 |
| 8-1.5 |
Explain the importance of
and requirements for replication of scientific investigations. |
| 8-1.6 |
Use appropriate tools and
instruments (including convex lenses, plane mirrors,
color filters, prisms, and slinky springs) safely and
accurately when conducting a controlled scientific investigation. |
| 8-1.7 |
Use appropriate safety procedures
when conducting investigations. |
