Concept Statement:
6 Scientific progress is made by asking meaningful questions and conducting careful investigations. As a basis for understanding this concept and addressing the content in the other three strands, students should develop their own questions and perform investigations.
Over-All Rating: In-Depth coverage of this concept.
Features that help student learning:
Investigations have many components that build upon one another. For each Investigation and Experimentation standard except 6a, students have multiple experiences in practicing and mastering the I&E standard while learning Grade 4 science content.
Features that do not help student learning:
Instructional materials provide only moderate coverage of standard 6a.
