Science
Scientific Inquiry:
1. Analyze alternative scientific explanations and predictions and recognize that there may be more than one good way to interpret a set of data.
2. Use graphs, tables and charts to study physical phenomena and infer mathematical relationships between variables (e.g., speed and density)
Mathematics
Patterns, Functions and Algebra Standard
1.) Relate the variable representations of a relationship, i.e., relate a table to a graph, description, and symbolic form.
2.) Generalize patterns and sequences by describing how to find the nth term.
3.) Identify functions as linear or non-linear based on information given in a table, graph or function.
4.) Use symbolic algebra (equations and inequalities), graphs and tables to represent situations and solve problems
5.) Use graphing calculators or computers to analyze change, e.g. interest compounded over time as a non-linear graphing pattern.
Data Analysis and Probability Standard
1.) Use, create and interpret scatterplots and other types of graphs as appropriate.
Technology
1. Produce graphs and/or charts to describe trends and visualize data.
2. Explore state-of-the-art devices to store data that will be used for researching projects.
3. Use equipment related to computer and multimedia technology imaging (e.g., digitalization, optical character recognition, scanning, computerized
microscopes).
