Planning and carrying out
investigations
8. Tested rubbing the balloon on a blanket instead of
on hair.
9. Administered pre and posttests to volunteers.
10. Monitored volume of water in the guinea pig's
water bottle.
11. Used audio-enabled volt meter
12. Shined 40, 60, and 75 watt light bulbs onto a solar
cell.
13. Taped braille label onto the light bulb boxes to
differentiate one from another.
14. Obtained adult assistance from the machine shop
to cut wooden base of hover craft with power
tools.
Analyzing and interpreting data 1. Compared percentages correct among volunteer
test takers.
2. Compared static outcomes when balloon was
rubbed on different materials
3. Read over notes to check for data variations due
to wiring configurations.
Using mathematics and
computational thinking
1. Used ruler to measure thread
2. Calculated percentage correct on volunteers' test
results.
3. Weighed food for guinea pig before placing in the
cage.
4. Created a data table
5. Revised data table to include additional variables
6. Calculated millivolts in one volt
7. Used a timer
8. Measured liquids in tactile measuring cups
9. Measured temperature with an audible
thermometer
Constructing explanations and
designing solutions
1. Wrote the explanation in journal.
2. Problem solved about design of rocket launcher
device
3. Decided to add salt to ice mixture to speed up the
freezing process
Engaging in written and oral
argument from evidence
1. Reviewed data chart and determined that battery
voltage was lower than anticipated due to using
the battery for multiple trials.
2. Justified poster presentation evidence with
Internet research document
