5.1.3.4.1

Use appropriate tools and techniques in gathering, analyzing and interpreting data.

For example: Spring scale, metric measurements, tables, mean/median/range, spreadsheets, and appropriate graphs.

5.1.1.1.3

Understand that different explanations for the same observations usually lead to making more observations and trying to resolve the differences.

Students apply digital tools to gather, evaluate, and use information. Students:

5.1.1.2.2

Identify and collect relevant evidence, make systematic observations and accurate measurements, and identify variables in a scientific investigation.

5.1.1.2.1

Generate a scientific question and plan an appropriate scientific investigation, such as systematic observations, field studies, open-ended exploration or controlled experiments to answer the question.

5.1.1.2.3

Conduct or critique an experiment, noting when the experiment might not be fair because some of the things that might change the outcome are not kept the same, or that the experiment is not repeated enough times to provide valid results.
