SC.6.N.1.1 Assessed as SC.8.N.1.1: Define a problem from the sixth grade curriculum, use appropriate reference materials to support scientific understanding, plan and carry out scientific investigation of various types, such as systematic observations or experiments, identify variables, collect and organize data, interpret data in charts, tables, and graphics, analyze information, make predictions, and defend conclusions. (Level 3: Strategic Thinking & Complex Reasoning) Scale Learning Progression Sample Progress Monitoring and Assessment Activities Evaluate a scientific investigation of I will be able to apply scientific thinking to evaluate an of Motion using evidence of Newton’s Laws investigation Score/Step 5.0 scientific thinking and/or problem solving. Compare methods of scientific investigation I will be able to apply scientific thinking to evaluate an of of Motion and the Newton’s Laws investigation Score/Step 4.0 importance of organizing data and interpret data in charts. Discuss how scientists, question, discuss, Score/Step 3.0 I will be able to apply scientific thinking to evaluate an and check each evidence when Target other’s investigation studying of Motion. (Learning Goal) Newton’s Laws Recognize that scientific investigations of I will be able to identify an investigation that uses scientific of Motion does not always Newton’s Laws thinking Score/Step 2.0 parallel the steps of scientific “the method” I will be able to recognize the steps of the “scientific method”. Score/Step 1.0
