Unit 1 Standards of Learning Outline: Nature of Science (Many of standards for Unit 1 will be incorporated throughout the semester) H.B.1 The student will use the science and engineering practices, including the processes and skills of scientific inquiry, to develop understandings of science content. H.B.1A (A.1-A.8): The practices of science and engineering support the development of science concepts develop the habits of mind that are necessary for scientific thinking, and allow students to engage in science in ways that are similar to those used by scientists and engineers. H.B.1B (B.1): Technology is any modification to the natural world created to fulfill the wants and needs of humans. The process of engineering design often leads to the development of a new or improved technology. Performance Indicators Objective: I Can… Key Vocabulary Activities Student Understanding A.1: Ask questions to generate hypotheses for scientific investigations that are Hypothesis Clear Kinda Unclear based on credible, accurate, and relevant sources of scientific information. A.1 continued: Ask questions to refine models, explanations, or designs, or to extend the Data Clear Kinda Unclear results of investigations or Observation challenge scientific arguments or claims. A.2: Develop, use, and refine models to (1) understand or represent phenomena, Mean processes, and relationships Range Clear Kinda Unclear (2) test devices or solutions, or Optimum (3) communicate ideas to others. A.3: Plan and conduct Controlled Experiment controlled scientific Independent Variable investigations to answer Dependent Variable Clear Kinda Unclear questions, test hypotheses, and Constant develop explanations. Control A.3 continued: Identify materials, procedures, and variables and use appropriate lab equipment, technology, and Qualitative Kinda Unclear techniques to collect qualitative Quantitative and quantitative data and represent data in an appropriate form. A.4: Analyze and interpret data from informational and data collected from investigations using a range of Inference methods (tabulation, graphing) Theory Clear Kinda Unclear to (1) reveal patterns and Law construct meaning (2) support or refute hypotheses, explanations, claims, or
