Grade: 6
Standards:
1. The Nature of Science and Technology: Students design investigations. They use computers and other technology to collect and analyze data; they explain findings and can relate how they conduct investigations to how the scientific enterprise functions as a whole. Students understand that technology has allowed humans to do many things, yet it cannot always provide solutions to our needs.
2. Scientific Thinking: Students use computers and other tools to collect information, calculate, and analyze data. They prepare tables and graphs, using these to summarize data and identify relationships.
3. The Physical Setting: Students collect and organize data to identify relationships between physical objects, events, and processes. They use logical reasoning to question their own ideas as new information challenges their conceptions of the natural world.
4. The Living Environment: Students recognize that plants and animals obtain energy in different ways, and they can describe some of the internal structures of organisms related to this function. They examine the similarities and differences between humans and other species . They use microscopes to observe cells and recognize cells as the building blocks of all life.
species: a category of biological classification that is comprised of organisms sufficiently and closely related as to be potentially able to mate with one another
5. The Mathematical World: Students apply mathematics in scientific contexts. They use mathematical ideas, such as relations between operations, symbols, shapes in three dimensions, statistical relationships, and the use of logical reasoning in the representation and synthesis of data.
6. Historical Perspectives: Students gain understanding of how the scientific enterprise operates through examples of historical events. Through the study of these events, they understand that new ideas are limited by the context in which they are conceived, are often rejected by the scientific establishment, sometimes spring from unexpected findings, and grow or transform slowly through the contributions of many different investigators.
7. Common Themes: Students use mental and physical models to conceptualize processes. They recognize that many systems have feedback mechanisms that limit changes.
