I. Inquiry
The nature of science and technology is incorporated within this area.
A. Identify Questions and Concepts that Guide Scientific Investigations
Experimental design should demonstrate logical connections between a knowledge base and conceptual understanding.
1. Formulate a testable hypothesis based on literary research and previous knowledge.
2. Identify and select experimental variables (independent and dependent) and controlled conditions.
B. Design and Conduct Investigations
Prior knowledge about major concepts, laboratory apparatus, laboratory techniques, and safety should be used in designing and conducting a scientific investigation.
1. Design a scientific investigation based on the major concepts in the area being studied.
2. Select and use appropriate instruments to make the observations necessary for the investigation, taking into consideration the limitations of the equipment.
3. Identify technologies that could enhance the collection of data.
4. Select the appropriate safety equipment needed to conduct an investigation (e.g., goggles, aprons, etc.).
5. Suggest safety precautions that need to be implemented for the handling of materials and equipment used in an investigation.
6. Describe the proper response to emergency situations in the laboratory.
7. Conduct a laboratory investigation with repeated trials and systematic manipulation of variables.
8. Identify possible sources of error inherent in an experimental design.
9. Organize and display data in useable and efficient formats, such as tables, graphs, maps, and cross sections.
10. Draw conclusions based on qualitative and quantitative data.
11. Discuss the impact of sources of error on experimental results.
12. Communicate and defend the scientific thinking that resulted in conclusions.
Math
Grades 9&12: Measurement
Measurement tools must include electronic devices as well as traditional measurement tools. Examples of basic technologies that might be used are calculator-based laboratories (CBLs), calculator-based rangers (CBRs), the Global Positioning System (GPS), digital micrometers, and infrared distance measurers.
Standard I. Understand measurable attributes of objects and the units, systems, and processes of measurement.
Social Studies
II. Power, Authority, & Governance: Government/Political Science
10.3 The learner will demonstrate an understanding of government, its origins and functions, including civic life and politics. The student should be able to
10.3.1 examine the necessity and purposes of government;
10.3.2 compare and contrast the civic life, politics, and forms of government in major civilizations;
10.3.3 analyze the political interactions, including conflicts among major nations and empires;
10.3.4 trace the causes and consequences of major governmental changes within selected nations and empires; and
10.3.5 examine and illustrate how governmental decisions are influenced by physical and cultural geography.
