  Scientific progress is made by asking meaningful questions and conducting careful investigations. As a basis for understanding this concept and addressing the content in the other three strands, students should develop their own questions and perform investigations. Students will:

  1. Make predictions based on observed patterns and not random guessing.
  2. Measure length, weight, temperature, and liquid volume with appropriate tools and express those measurements in standard metric system units.
  3. Compare and sort common objects according to two or more physical attributes (e.g., color, shape, texture, size, weight).
  4. Write or draw descriptions of a sequence of steps, events, and observations.
  5. Construct bar graphs to record data, using appropriately labeled axes.
  6. Use magnifiers or microscopes to observe and draw descriptions of small objects or small features of objects.
  7. Follow oral instructions for a scientific investigation.
