Student Engagement for this purpose is defined as any activity in which students are working as active partners in shaping their learning experience.
Practice Questions
Science assesses skills in the areas of:
Interpreting data, including:
* observing
* measuring
* interpreting diagrams, tables and graphs
Applying data, including:
* inferring
* predicting
* concluding
Higher order skills, including:
* investigating
* reasoning
* problem solving
These skills are embedded in the syllabus documents of all the key learning areas and are meant to be taught in context.
The skills are tested in contexts drawn from four Science knowledge areas:
* Earth and Beyond (incorporating the Earth Sciences and Astronomy)
* Natural and Processed Materials (incorporating Chemistry)
* Life and Living (incorporating Biology and Ecology)
* Energy and Change (incorporating Physics)
Steps of the Scientific Method
Steps of the Scientific Method
Overview of the Scientific Method
The scientific method is a process for experimentation that is used to explore observations and answer questions. Scientists use the scientific method to search for cause and effect relationships in nature. In other words, they design an experiment so that changes to one item cause something else to vary in a predictable way.
Just as it does for a professional scientist, the scientific method will help you to focus your science fair project question, construct a hypothesis, design, execute, and evaluate your experiment.
