1. Science understanding is developed through the use of science process skills and scientific knowledge in
combination with scientific investigation, reasoning, and critical thinking
Major Objectives IS Suggested Activities Suggested Assessments
Concept A: Scientific inquiry includes the
ability of students to formulate a testable
question and explanation and to select
appropriate investigative methods in order
to obtain evidence relevant to the
explanation
Scope and Sequence: All Units
Grades 7 & 8
a. Formulate testable questions and
hypotheses.

C1-12
a. Students will design and complete a
laboratory investigation using the scientific
method. Students will include the questions
and hypothesis, identified variables,
constants, multiple trials, a valid experiment.
(1.2, 1.3, 1.8, 2.1, 2.3, 4.1, 4.3, 4.6)
a. Students will present laboratory investigation
using the scientific method. They will include
the questions and hypothesis, identified
variables, constants, multiple trials, a valid
experiment. Students will share group
experiments and peer edit and review for
suggestions, improvements, and extensions.
b. Recognize the importance of the
independent variable, dependent
variables, control of constants, and
multiple trials to the design of a valid
experiment.
