  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. Differentiate observation from inference (interpretation) and know scientists’ explanations come partly from what they observe and partly from how they interpret their observations.
  2. Measure and estimate the weight, length, or volume of objects.
  3. Formulate and justify predictions based on cause-and-effect relationships.
  4. Conduct multiple trials to test a prediction and draw conclusions about the relationships between predictions and results.
  5. Construct and interpret graphs from measurements.
  6. Follow a set of written instructions for a scientific investigation.
