4) Systems and system models: defining the system under study -- specifying its boundaries and making explicit a model of that system provides tools for – understanding and testing that are applicable throughout science and engineering. 6) Structure and function: The way in which an object or living thing is shaped and its substructure determine many of its properties and functions. Practices for K-12 Science Classrooms 1. Asking questions (for science) and defining problems (for engineering) 2. Developing and using models 3. Planning and carrying out investigations 4. Analyzing and interpreting data 5. Using mathematics and computational thinking 6. Constructing explanations (for science) and designing solutions (for engineering) 7. Engaging in argument from evidence 8. Obtaining, evaluating, and communicating information National Science Standards (NSES) A. Science As Inquiry (p.175-176) E. Science and Technology (p.192-193) G. History and Nature of Science (p. 200-204) California Public Schools Standards (SCSCPS) Investigation and Experimentation, 1. Scientific progress is made by asking meaningful questions and conducting careful investigations. As a basis for understanding this concept and addressing content in the other four strands, students should develop their own questions and perform investigations. Students will: a. Select and use appropriate tools and technology (such as computer-linked probes, spreadsheets, and graphing calculators) to perform tests, collect data, analyze relationships, and display data. Identify possible reasons for inconsistent results, such as sources of error or c. uncontrolled conditions. d. Formulate explanations by using logic and evidence. Other California Education Standards Math - Algebra I 16.0 Students understand the concepts of a relation and a function, determine whether a given relation defines a function, and give pertinent information about given relations and functions.
