Scientists construct information and knowledge of our surroundings through interpretation of experimental results. Your students can do the same. We have created several student investigations that use data and support the Next Generation Science Standards. These data-based investigations help your students:

Ask Questions and Define Problems Develop and Use Models Plan and Carry Out Investigations Analyze and Interpret Data

Use Mathematics and Computational Thinking Construct Explanations and Design Solutions Engage in Argument from Evidence Obtain, Evaluate, and Communicate Information
