We are working on developing the following areas:<\/em><\/p>\n

Questioning and predicting<\/strong><\/p>\n

Demonstrate a sustained intellectual curiosity about a scientific topic or problem of personal interest<\/p>\n

Make observations aimed at identifying their own questions about the natural world<\/p>\n

Identify a question to answer or a problem to solve through scientific inquiry<\/p>\n

Formulate alternative \u201cIf\u2026then\u2026\u201d hypotheses based on their questions<\/p>\n

Make predictions about the findings of their inquiry<\/p>\n

Planning and conducting<\/strong><\/p>\n

Collaboratively plan a range of investigation types, including field work and experiments, to answer their questions or solve problems they have identified<\/p>\n

Measure and control variables (dependent and independent) through fair tests<\/p>\n

Observe, measure, and record data (qualitative and quantitative), using equipment, including digital technologies, with accuracy and precision<\/p>\n

Use appropriate SI units and perform simple unit conversions<\/p>\n

Ensure that safety and ethical guidelines are followed in their investigations<\/p>\n

Processing and analyzing data and information<\/strong><\/p>\n

Experience and interpret the local environment<\/p>\n

Apply First Peoples perspectives and knowledge, other ways of knowing, and local knowledge as sources of information<\/p>\n

Construct and use a range of methods to represent patterns or relationships in data, including tables, graphs, keys, models, and digital technologies as appropriate<\/p>\n

Seek patterns and connections in data from their own investigations and secondary sources<\/p>\n

Use scientific understandings to identify relationships and draw conclusions<\/p>\n

Evaluating<\/strong><\/p>\n

Reflect on their investigation methods, including the adequacy of controls on variables (dependent and independent) and the quality of the data collected<\/p>\n

Identify possible sources of error and suggest improvements to their investigation methods<\/p>\n

Demonstrate an awareness of assumptions and bias in their own work and secondary sources<\/p>\n

Demonstrate an understanding and appreciation of evidence (qualitative and quantitative)<\/p>\n

Exercise a healthy, informed skepticism and use scientific knowledge and findings from their own investigations to evaluate claims in secondary sources<\/p>\n

Consider social, ethical, and environmental implications of the findings from their own and others\u2019 investigations<\/p>\n

Applying and innovating<\/strong><\/p>\n

Contribute to care for self, others, community, and world through personal or collaborative approaches<\/p>\n

Co-operatively design projects<\/p>\n

Transfer and apply learning to new situations<\/p>\n

Generate and introduce new or refined ideas when problem solving<\/p>\n

Communicating<\/strong><\/p>\n

Communicate ideas, findings, and solutions to problems, using scientific language, representations, and digital technologies as appropriate<\/p>\n

Express and reflect on a variety of experiences and perspectives of place<\/td>\n
