Standard: Show Content Tip
6d Conduct multiple trials to test a prediction and draw conclusions about the relationships between predictions and results.
Holistic Rating: In-Depth coverage of this standard.
| Activities on pages A80-A81, B4-B5 and C32-C33 provide in-depth coverage of this standard, while addressing content at this grade level. However, see note below and the Content Tip for a discussion of "conducting multiple trials." |
Aspects that help student learning:
In addition to the investigations cited above, the activities on pages B74-B75, C38-C39 and C50-C51 also provide moderate coverage of this standard and address content at this grade level.
Aspects that do not help student learning:
Conducting multiple trials usually means repeating the same exact procedure and conditions to determine the reproducibility of the results. The phrasing of the standard leaves open the interpretation that conducting multiple trials could include changing the variables in an investigation. Most of the activities cited by the publisher as meeting the standard involve this latter interpretation of "multiple trials."
Most instances of "conduct multiple trials" occur in the "Investigate Further" section, not as part of the main activity. Multiple trials are not always connected with predictions and conclusions.
