Additional Course Information:

  • Asking Questions and Defining Problems

Formulate, refine, and evaluate empirically testable questions and design problems using models and simulations.

  • Developing and Using Models

Use, synthesize, and develop models to predict and show relationships among variables between systems and their components in the natural and designed worlds.

  • Planning and Carrying Out Investigations

Plan and carry out investigations that provide evidence for and test conceptual, mathematical, physical, and empirical models.

  • Analyzing and Interpreting Data

Analyze and interpret data including statistical analysis, the comparison of data sets for consistency, and the use of models.

  • Using Mathematics and Computational Thinking

Use algebraic thinking and analysis, a range of linear and nonlinear functions including trigonometric functions, exponentials and logarithms, and computational tools for statistical analysis

to analyze, represent, and model data. Simple computational simulations are created and used based on mathematical

models of basic assumptions.

  • Constructing Explanations and Designing Solutions

Construct explanations and design solutions that are supported by multiple and independent student-generated sources of evidence consistent with scientific ideas, principles, and theories.

  • Engaging in Argument from Evidence

Use appropriate and sufficient evidence and scientific reasoning to defend and critique claims and explanations about the natural and designed world(s). Arguments may also come from current scientific or historical episodes in science.

  • Obtaining, Evaluating, and Communicating Information

Obtain, evaluate, and communicate information including evaluating the validity and reliability of the claims, methods, and designs.
