Science Project – Stage 4 (Grades 7 & 8)

 Questioning and predicting

From the topics studied in Science, the student identifies a problem or question, or selects a problem from the list of suggestions. The student makes a prediction based on their scientific knowledge.

Planning and conducting

The student identifies measured and controlled variables, then designs and performs an investigation that includes field work and laboratory experimentation, to collect reliable data; assess risk and address ethical issues associated with these methods.

The student then selects and uses appropriate equipment, to collect and record data systematically and accurately.

Processing and analyzing data and information

The student constructs and uses a range of representations, including graphs, keys and models to represent and analyse patterns or relationships in data using digital technologies as appropriate.

The student summarises data from their own investigations and secondary sources, and uses scientific understanding to identify relationships and draw conclusions based on evidence

Evaluating

The student reflects on their investigation including evaluating the quality of the data collected, and identifying improvements.

Communicating

Finally, the student communicates their findings, including constructing evidence-based arguments and using appropriate scientific language, conventions and representations.
