GCO: Analyze & Explain (AE) Interpret findings from investigations using appropriate methods. Work collaboratively to carry out science-related activities, and communicate ideas, procedures and results. SCO: AE1 Classify by Attributes & Display of Relevant Data Scope and Sequence of Outcomes Grades 4-6 Grades 7-9 Grades 10-12 214-1 Describe and apply classification systems and nomenclature used in the 206-1 Classify according to sciences 210-1 Use or construct a several attributes and create a 214-2 Identify limitations of a chart or diagram that shows the classification key given classification system and method of classification identify alternative ways of classifying and accommodate anomalies 210-2 Compile and display 214-3 Compile and display 206-2 Compile and display data, data, by hand or computer, in evidence and information, by by hand or by computer, in a a variety of formats, including hand or computer, in a variety of variety of formats including diagrams, flow charts, tables, formats, including diagrams, flow frequency tallies, tables, and bar charts, tables, graphs, and bar graphs, line graphs, and graphs scatter plots scatter plots 210-3 Identify strengths and weaknesses of different methods of collecting and displaying data Elaboration Guiding Questions: What do I want my students to learn? What do I want my students to understand and be able to do? This outcome is about organizing information after data collection. Organizing qualitative information: students need to be able to identify and classify according to attributes. The classification requires students to use sorting rules consistent with math standards. Grade 2, students need to build on their prior experiences to sort objects and shapes using “In two attributes. If students find it difficult to sort by two attributes at the same time, they may find it helpful to sort by one attribute and combine two of the sorted (NB Mathematics groups.” Grade 2 Curriculum, p.70) In Grade 7 the classification advances past sorting by attributes to the use and/or creation of a classification key. This skill is moving further up Blooms Taxonomy. In previous grades, students were asked to look at different objects or organisms and classify them by two attributes
