**Investigation and Experimentation**

**7. Scientific progress is made by asking meaningful questions and conducting careful investigations.**

As a basis for understanding this concept, and to address the content the other three strands, students should develop their own questions and perform investigations. Students will:

a. select and use appropriate tools and technology (including calculators, computers, balances, spring scales, microscopes, and binoculars) to perform tests, collect data, and display data.

b. utilize a variety of print and electronic resources (including the World Wide Web) to collect information as evidence as part of a research project.

c. communicate the logical connection among hypothesis, science concepts, tests conducted, data collected, and conclusions drawn from the scientific evidence.

d. construct scale models, maps and appropriately labeled diagrams to communicate scientific knowledge (e.g., motion of Earth's plates and cell structure).

e. communicate the steps and results from an investigation in written reports and verbal presentations. || = Computer Lab = 1. HW
