Asking Questions and Defining ProblemsInvestigation1) Ask a question or define a problem that can be investigated, seek additional information & relationships to determine the relationship between variables or models, or to clarify and refine a model, provide an explanation or an engineering problem, Or evaluate a question to determine its testability, relevance or challenge the premise(s) of an argument, data set, or sustainability of a design.1)
5
2) Students' investigation builds on or expands on previous work (with multiple reputable references) or observations.2)
6
Planning and Carrying out Investigations3) Plan and conduct an experimental or engineering design procedure, using appropriate materials and methodology, with a clear directional hypothesis ofexpected outcomes of dependent variable when independent variable is manipulated (including null) and all variables or criteria are defined.3)
7
4) Testing of, or replications of the experiment or design are evident, and appropriate for the context (and age level) of the project.4)
8
Using Mathematical and Computational Thinking5) Create, revise or use mathematical models, algortithms or simulations, to test expressions, programs, algorithms or simulations, in order to compare or predict applications to the real world.5)
9
Developing & Using ModelsSensemaking (analyzing & interpreting, making sense of the data)6) Develop, revise or use complex Models (mathematical, physical or computational) to generate, predict or describe data, test ideas & solutions, or show relationships among variables in a proposed process or system.6)
10
7) Models analyze the generated data to refute, support or predict explanations, analyze systems, or solve real-world problems.7)
11
Analyzing & interpreting Data8) Apply concepts of statistics & probability to science or engineering problems, to make valid & reliable claims or solutions, examine consistency of measurement, evaluate the impact of new data on an explanation or proposed solution, and consider the limitations of the data analysis.8)
12
Constructing Explanations & Designing Solutions9) Conclusion that clearly describes the relationship among variables, or the design, evaluation or refine of a solution to a problem, based on scientific theories and laws, linking evidence from a variety of data sources (including their own), with the resoning and data to support the explanation or conclusions. 9)
13
Engaging in Argument from EvidenceCritiquing (i.e. Presentation & Board)10) Conclusion, solution, or design is compared and evaluated against competing arguments, designs and evidence, against new evidence, currrently accepted explanations, limitations, constraints and ethical issues, to determine the merits of these arguments.10)
14
Obtaining, Evaluating, and Communicating Information11) Respectfully provide and receive feedback and/or critique of scientific arguments and explanations, procedures, models, & clarifications by probing reasoning & evidence, and challenging ideas and conclustions, responding thoughtfully to diverse perspectives, and determining what additional information (next steps) required to resolve contradictions.11)
15
 12) Presentation- both oral and written: Communicates understanding of scientific or technical information or ideas, in both oral and written form (board, abstract, interview, notebook...) that summarizes, compares and integrates evaluated reliable sources of information to address a scientific question or solve a problem.12)
