Strand 7: Scientific Inquiry<br />
1. Science understanding is developed through the use of science process skills and scientific knowledge in<br />
combination with scientific investigation, reasoning, and critical thinking<br />
Major Objectives IS Suggested Activities Suggested Assessments<br />
Concept D: Scientific inquiry includes<br />
evaluation of explanations (hypotheses,<br />
laws, theories) in light of scientific principles<br />
(understandings)<br />
Scope and Sequence: All Units<br />
Grades 7 & 8<br />
a. Make predictions supported by scientific<br />
knowledge/explanations.<br />
R<br />
T<br />
a. Using classroom materials and appropriate<br />
technology, students will apply and analyze<br />
the support of major scientific theories like the<br />
plate tectonics. (1.1, 1.2, 1.4, 1.8, 1.10, 2.1,<br />
2.3, 4.1)<br />
a. Given classroom examples, students will<br />
identify which are supported by hypothesis,<br />
laws, and theories.<br />
b. Analyze whether evidence (data) supports<br />
proposed explanations (hypotheses, laws,<br />
theories).<br />

b. Using classroom materials and appropriate<br />
technology, students will apply and analyze<br />
the support of major scientific theories like the<br />
cell theory to predict new situations. (1.1, 1.2,<br />
1.4, 1.8, 1.10, 2.1, 2.3, 4.1)<br />
b. Given classroom examples, students will<br />
identify which are supported by hypothesis,<br />
laws, and theories.<br />
c. Evaluate the reasonableness of an<br />
explanation (conclusion).<br />
Concept E: The nature of science relies<br />
upon communication of results and<br />
justification of explanations<br />
Scope and Sequence: All Units<br />
R<br />
C1-12<br />
c. Students will brainstorm evidence of plate<br />
tectonics to evaluate the reasonableness of the<br />
explanation.(1.5, 1.7, 2.1, 2.3, 4.1, 4.3, 4.6)<br />
Grades 7 & 8<br />
c. Students will evaluate conclusions based on<br />
explanation of data.<br />
a. Communicate the procedures and results<br />
of investigations and explanations<br />
through:<br />
* oral presentations<br />
* drawings and maps<br />
* data tables<br />
* graphs (bar, single line, pictographs)<br />
* writings.<br />
C1-12<br />
a. Students will demonstrate oral presentations,<br />
drawings, data tables, graphs, and writings to<br />
present lab and class work individually and in<br />
groups. (1.5, 1.6, 1.8, 2.1, 2.2, 2.3, 4.1, 4.3,<br />
4.6) (C1-12)<br />
a. Students will create oral presentations,<br />
drawings, data tables, graphs, and writings to<br />
present lab and class work individually and in<br />
groups.<br />
