13. Scientific & Engineering Practices

14. A combination of knowledge and skills. It’s what scientists “do” as they investigate and build models and theories about the world. It’s what engineers “do” as they design and build systems.

15. 1. Asking questions (for science) and defining problems (for engineering). 2. Developing and using models. 3. Planning and carrying out investigations. 4. Analyzing and interpreting data. 5. Using mathematics, information and computer technology, and computational thinking. 6. Constructing explanations (for science) and designing solutions (for engineering). 7. Engaging in argument from evidence. 8. Obtaining, evaluating, and communicating information.

16. Asking Questions (for science) Why are there seasons? Why did the structure collapse? How is electric power generated? What do plants need to survive?

32. Crosscutting Concepts

33. Fundamental themes or lenses that students use as they explore a particular area of science. They are concepts that bridge the all disciplines of science.

34. 1. Patterns 2. Cause and Effect 3. Scale, Proportion, and Quantity 4. Systems and System Models 5. Energy and Matter in Systems 6. Structure and Function 7. Stability and Change of Systems

35. Patterns Cause & Effect Scale, Proportion, and Quantity Cause & Effect Scale, Proportion, and Quantity
