Aspects that help student learning:
Pages 303, 315, 332 and 353 provide moderate coverage of this standard and address science content at this grade level. However, see note below and the Content Tip for a discussion of "conducting multiple trials."
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."
Text often asks students to make predictions in context where they lack information, so their "predictions" are really just guesses.
