Each high school course contains the “Overarching SEPs for Inquiry Extension of Labs” that provides guidance for scientific investigations in all courses
Ask questions to generate hypotheses for scientific investigations based on empirical evidence and observations and/or ask questions to clarify or refine models, explanations, or designs.
Plan and conduct controlled scientific investigations to produce data to answer questions, test hypotheses and predictions, and develop explanations or evaluate design solutions, which require the following:
Identify dependent and independent variables and appropriate controls.
Select and use appropriate tools or instruments to collect data and represent data in an appropriate form.
Analyze and interpret various types of data sets, using appropriate mathematics, in order to verify or refute the hypothesis or determine an optimal design solution.
Construct an explanation of observed relationships between variables.
Communicate scientific and/or technical information in various formats
