Science Department: Goal #1: Students will be able to identify independent and dependent variables to form a hypothesis for scientific investigations. Rationale: This ability is a common benchmark, a problem solving life skill, and a basis for scientific investigation. Goal #2: Students will plan and analyze data for scientific investigation that answers research questions. Rationale: Students need to have the skills to learn and apply the relationship between scientific investigations and real-world problem solving skills. independent variables (ex. graphic organizers, Cornell notes, P.U.C.ing the text, labs, AVID strategies) dependent variables (ex. graphic organizers, Cornell notes, P.U.C.ing the text, labs, AVID strategies) how to form hypothesis using variables students in hands-on activities, real-life field trips and activities, and labs to accomplish the above. how to properly set up data tables and graphs. how to properly analyze data.
