Standard/Essential Knowledge and Skills:

Scientific Investigation, Reasoning, and Logic

1.1 The student will demonstrate an understanding of scientific reasoning, logic, and the nature of science by planning and conducting investigations in which
a) the senses are used to observe differences in physical properties; (B2, B3)
b) observations are made from multiple positions to achieve a variety of perspectives and are repeated to ensure accuracy; (B2)
c) objects or events are classified and arranged according to characteristics or properties; (B3, B6)
d) simple tools are used to enhance observations; (B3)
e) length, mass, volume, and temperature are measured using nonstandard units; (B5)
f) inferences are made and conclusions are drawn about familiar objects and events; (B4)
g) a question is developed from one or more observations; (B6)
h) predictions are made based on patterns of observations; (B6)
i) observations and data are recorded, analyzed, and communicated orally and with simple graphs, pictures, written statements, and numbers (B1, B4, B5)
j) simple investigations and experiments are conducted to answer questions. (B3)
In order to meet this standard, it is expected that students will
·  use their senses and simple tools, such as a magnifying glass and a balance to enhance their observations of physical properties. (B4)
·  make repeated observations of an object or event from multiple positions. (B2)
·  classify and arrange objects or events according to at least two attributes or properties so that similarities and differences become apparent. (B4, B6)
·  measure length, mass, and volume, using nonstandard units. (B5)
·  use familiar events and objects to make inferences and draw conclusions. (B4, B5)
·  develop a question from one or more observations. (B6)
·  predict outcomes based on actual observations and evidence rather than random guesses. (B3)
·  communicate observations and data with simple graphs and pictures, oral and written statements, and with numbers. (B5)
·  answer questions by conducting simple experiments/investigations, using nonstandard measuring units and simple tools, such as a magnifying glass or a balance. A simple experiment is one that changes only one thing at a time (tests only one variable), gives quick results, and provides easily observable changes. (B2, B3)
·  record observations of movement (length/distance) using nonstandard units. (B1)
·  compare the movement of objects, using graphs, pictures, and/or numbers. (B 4)
Vocabulary: Experiment, measure, length, mass, volume, standard/non-standard units, observe, senses, science tools, inquiry skills, investigation, record
