Assessment Anchor - S5.A.1 Reasoning and Analysis
-
Anchor Descriptor - S5.A.1.1 Explain, interpret, and apply scientific, environmental, or technological knowledge presented in a variety of formats (visuals, scenarios, graphs).
-
Eligible Content - S5.A.1.1.1 Explain how certain questions can be answered through scientific inquiry and/or technological design (e.g., investigate to find out if all clay or foil boats designs react the same when filled with paperclips).
-
Eligible Content - S5.A.1.1.2 Explain how observations and/or experimental results are used to support inferences and claims about an investigation or relationship (e.g., make a claim based on information on a graph).
-
Eligible Content - S5.A.1.1.3 Describe how explanations, predictions, and models are developed using evidence.
-
-
-
Assessment Anchor - S5.A.2 Processes, Procedures, and Tools of Scientific Investigations
-
Anchor Descriptor - S5.A.2.1 Apply knowledge of scientific investigation or technological design to make inferences and solve problems.
-
Eligible Content - S5.A.2.1.1 Design a simple, controlled experiment (fair test) identifying the independent and dependent variables, how the dependent variable will be measured and which variables will be held constant (e.g., relate the effect of variables [mass, release height, length of string] to number of swings of a pendulum, investigate the relationships between variables in paper airplane designs).
-
Eligible Content - S5.A.2.1.2 Describe relationships between variables through interpretation of data and observations (i.e., make predictions for the outcome of a controlled experiment using data tables and graphs).
-
-
Anchor Descriptor - S5.A.2.2 Apply appropriate instruments for specific purposes and describe the information the instruments can provide.
-
Eligible Content - S5.A.2.2.1 Describe the appropriate use of instruments and scales to accurately measure time, mass, distance, volume, and temperature safely under a variety of conditions (e.g., use a thermometer to observe and compare the interaction of food coloring in water at different temperatures).
-
Eligible Content - S5.A.2.2.2 Explain how technology extends and enhances human abilities for specific purposes (e.g., use hand lens to examine crystals in evaporation dishes; use graduated cylinders to measure the amount of water used in a controlled plant experiment).
