Sixth Grade Indicators

6-1.2 Differentiate between observation and inference during the analysis and interpretation of data.

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).

6-1.5 Use appropriate safety procedures when conducting investigations

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).

Seventh Grade Indicators

7-1.2
Generate questions that can be answered through 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.

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

8-1.7
Use appropriate safety procedures when conducting investigations.

8-3.6
Explain how the theory of plate tectonics accounts for the motion of the lithospheric plates, the geologic activities at the plate boundaries, and the changes in landform areas over geologic time.

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.
