Metric Measurement and Laboratory Tools

Learners will pose testable questions, formulate clear hypotheses based on observable patterns, and define engineering problems using background research.

Learners will design fair test investigations, control variables, write repeatable procedures, and follow laboratory safety protocols.

Learners will select, use, and calibrate standard scientific tools to collect precise quantitative and qualitative data.

Learners will organize experimental observations into tables, construct graphs, interpret proportional and non-proportional trends, and detect experimental errors.

Learners will develop physical, conceptual, and digital models, evaluate model limitations, and iteratively improve engineering prototypes.

Learners will construct scientific explanations using claims, evidence, and reasoning, communicate findings through multi-modal formats, and participate in collaborative scientific argumentation.
