Science and Engineering Practices
Asking Questions and Defining Problems
Ask questions about what would happen if a variable is changed.
Ask questions that can be investigated and predict reasonable outcomes based on patterns such as cause and effect relationships.
Planning and Carrying Out Investigations
Make observations and/or measurements to produce data to serve as the basis for evidence for an explanation of a phenomenon or test a design solution.
Analyzing and Interpreting Data
Analyze and interpret data to make sense of phenomena, using logical reasoning, mathematics, and/or computation.
Constructing Explanations and Designing Solutions
Use evidence (e.g., measurements, observations, patterns) to construct or support an explanation or design a solution to a problem.
Crosscutting Concepts
Cause and Effect
Students routinely identify and test causal relationships and use these relationships to explain change. They understand events that occur together with regularity might or might not signify a cause and effect relationship.
