Materials & Resources
  • Assessment Anchor - S4.A.2

    Processes, Procedures, and Tools of Scientific Investigations
    • Anchor Descriptor - S4.A.2.1 Apply skills necessary to conduct an experiment or design a solution to solve a problem.
      • Eligible Content - S4.A.2.1.1 Generate questions about objects, organisms, or events that can be answered through scientific investigations.
      • Eligible Content - S4.A.2.1.2 Design and describe an investigation (a fair test) to test one variable.
      • Eligible Content - S4.A.2.1.3 Observe a natural phenomenon (e.g., weather changes, length of daylight/night, movement of shadows, animal migrations, growth of plants), record observations, and then make a prediction based on those observations.
      • Eligible Content - S4.A.2.1.4 State a conclusion that is consistent with the information/data.
        • Alternate Eligible Content - S4.A.2.1.4a Recognize the observation that supports a scientific fact.
          Alternate Eligible Content is designed for students assessed using the PA Alternate System of Assessment (PASA). Essentialized Example resources assist teachers in designing instruction that reduces content complexity while maintaining alignment to academic standards.
    • Anchor Descriptor - S4.A.2.2 Identify appropriate instruments for a specific task and describe the information the instrument can provide.
      • Eligible Content - S4.A.2.2.1 Identify appropriate tools or instruments for specific tasks and describe the information they can provide (e.g., measuring: length - ruler, mass - balance scale, volume - beaker, temperature - thermometer; making observations: hand lens, binoculars, telescope).
        • Alternate Eligible Content - S4.A.2.2.1a Select appropriate tools to perform basic measurement tasks (limited to length, weight, volume, and temperature).
          Alternate Eligible Content is designed for students assessed using the PA Alternate System of Assessment (PASA). Essentialized Example resources assist teachers in designing instruction that reduces content complexity while maintaining alignment to academic standards.
        • Alternate Eligible Content - S4.A.2.2.1b Select appropriate tools for making observations (limited to hand lens, binoculars, microscope, and telescope).
          Alternate Eligible Content is designed for students assessed using the PA Alternate System of Assessment (PASA). Essentialized Example resources assist teachers in designing instruction that reduces content complexity while maintaining alignment to academic standards.
