6b Develop a testable question.
Holistic Rating: Moderate coverage of this standard.
Page S2 introduces this skill. The Wrap-Up for each Unit (pages A96, B96, C96, D64, and E96) provide moderate coverage of this standard.
Pages A71 (Investigate Further), D26, and D44-D45 provide limited coverage. |
Aspects that help student learning:
Each Unit Wrap-Up asks students to pose a question to investigate, and provides a sample question. The directions then lead students to "Make a Hypothesis," "Plan and Do a Test," "Record and Analyze," and "Draw Conclusions." Examples are provided based on the sample question.
Aspects that do not help student learning:
The "Plan and Do a Test" section assumes students will investigate the suggested sample hypothesis rather than investigate their own question! This needs to be clarified for students so they investigate their own questions. Directions also do not emphasize analysis of the quality of student questions with respect to "testability" to help students improve their abilities to develop testable questions.
