- OGS.11.SEP.1Formulate testable scientific questions, hypotheses, and predictive operational models based on theoretical frameworks and empirical observations.
- OGS.11.SEP.2Design, plan, and conduct reproducible descriptive, comparative, and experimental investigations, systematically controlling variables and ensuring safety compliance using Safety Data Sheets (SDS) and proper laboratory protocols.
- OGS.11.SEP.3Select and utilize appropriate laboratory apparatus, digital probes, measurement tools, and glassware to generate, measure, and record high-precision quantitative and qualitative data in standard SI units.
- OGS.11.SEP.4Process, organize, and mathematically model empirical data using statistical features, appropriate significant figures, scientific notation, tables, charts, graphs, gradients, and algebraic equations.
- OGS.11.SEP.5Evaluate experimental validity, precision, repeatability, and reproducibility by identifying sources of random and systematic error, analyzing model limitations, and distinguishing between hypotheses, theories, laws, descriptions, and opinions.
- OGS.11.SEP.6Construct evidence-based arguments, communicate scientific explanations and solutions using appropriate nomenclature and formats, and engage in peer review while recognizing the ethical, cultural, economic, and societal implications of science and technology.
