Standard: Show Content Tip
6c Plan and conduct a simple investigation based on a student-developed question and write instructions that others can follow to carry out the procedure.
Holistic Rating: Moderate coverage of this standard.
| Pages S2-S11 provide background on science process skills. The Wrap-Up for each Unit (pages A96, B96, C96, D64, and E96) and pages A71 (Investigate Further), and D26-D27 provide moderate coverage of this standard. |
Aspects that help student learning:
Each Unit Wrap-Up asks students to pose a question to investigate, and provides a sample question. The directions then lead students to "Make a Hypothesis," "Plan and Do a Test," "Record and Analyze," and "Draw Conclusions." Examples are provided based on the sample question.
Aspects that do not help student learning:
The "Plan and Do a Test" section assumes students will investigate the suggested sample hypothesis rather than investigate their own question! This needs to be clarified for students so they investigate their own questions. Student text does not instruct students to write instructions that others can follow nor does it provide assistance in developing and improving this skill.
