Investigating in Science
Exploring a situation
With support, Sam is able to identify observed similarities and differences in order to create new subgroups.
Using systematic approaches and scientific conventions
Sam collects and records simple data from his observations using a simple (concrete materials) key. |
Developing and Communicating Scientific Understanding
Using scientific vocabulary
Sam explores and uses new vocabulary and uses it to label observable features when he says, "Some are smooth, but some of them are serrated ... They have little prickles on them, like a saw."
Reflecting on their understanding
Sam is aware of changes in his own understanding: "I thought there would be more smooth leaves, but there were nearly as many serrated ones." |
