Science 6.2 Demonstrate Scientific Reasoning and Logic
- by investigating ideas by asking for and actively seeking information
- by analyzing alternative scientific explanations
LS.1 Plan and Conduct Investigations
- by organizing data into tables showing repeated trials and means
- by defining variables
- by using SI (metric) units
- by establishing criteria for evaluating a prediction
- by identifying sources of experimental error
- by identifying independent variables, dependent variables and constants
- by controlling variables with repeated trials to test the hypotheses
