Plan and design a scientific investigation that includes: developing a testable question researching scientific literature stating a hypothesis identifying the independent and the dependent variables designing a written procedure for a controlled experiment using an appropriate technique for data collection keeping all other conditions constant Expectations for students to understand the process of science is embedded throughout the Colorado Academic Standards and is not a standalone expectation. Examples of sentence from the Colorado Academic Standards that would relate to this framework objective are provided. Find, evaluate, and select appropriate information from reference books, journals, magazines, online references, and databases to answer scientific questions. Use tools to gather, view, analyze, and report results for scientific investigations designed to answer questions. Examine, evaluate, question, and ethically use information from a variety of sources and to investigate an issue. Ask testable questions and make a falsifiable hypothesis and use an inquiry approach to find an answer. Evaluate the reproducibility of an experiment, and critically examine conflicts in experimental results. Identifying the independent and dependent variables, is not explicit in the CAS; however, it is implied that it will be taught before 8th grade.
