Communicate procedures, data, and explanations to a variety of audiences. Justify the results by using evidence to form an argument.

Use appropriate safety procedures when conducting investigations

Frame and refine questions that can be investigated scientifically, and generate testable hypotheses.

Design and conduct investigations with controlled variables to test hypotheses.

Accurately collect data through the selection and use of tools and techniques appropriate to the investigation.

Construct tables, diagrams and graphs, showing relationships between two variables, to display and facilitate analysis of data.

Compare and question results with and from other students

Construct logical scientific explanations and present arguments that defend proposed explanations through the use of closely examined evidence.

Evaluating the explanations proposed by others involves examining and comparing evidence, identifying faulty reasoning, pointing out
