UT.1.The Processes of Science, Communication of Science, and the Nature of Science: Students will be able to apply scientific processes, communicate scientific ideas effectively, and understand the nature of science.
The Processes of Science, Communication of Science, and the Nature of Science: Students will be able to apply scientific processes, communicate scientific ideas effectively, and understand the nature of science.
1.1. Generating Evidence: Using the processes of scientific investigation (i.e. framing questions, designing investigations, conducting investigations, collecting data, drawing conclusions)1.1.1. Framing questions: Observe using senses, create a hypothesis, and focus a question that can lead to an investigation.
1.1.3. Conducting investigations: Observe, manipulate, measure, describe.
1.1.4. Collecting data: Deciding what data to collect and how to organize, record, and manipulate the data.
1.2. Communicating Science: Communicating effectively using science language and reasoning1.2.4. Using multiple methods of communicating reasons/evidence (verbal, charts, graphs).
UT.2.Earth and Space Science: Students will gain an understanding of Earth and Space Science through the study of earth materials, celestial movement, and weather.
