Standard: Show Content Tip
6a Differentiate observation from inference (interpretation) and know scientists' explanations come partly from what they observe and partly from how they interpret their observations.
Holistic Rating: Moderate coverage of this standard.
| "Earth Materials" Investigations 1 and 3 provide moderate coverage of this standard, and connect with grade 4 science content. |
Aspects that help student learning:
Students do a lot of observing and inferring in the course of the investigations. They make explanations based on a combination of observations and interpretations.
Aspects that do not help student learning:
The instructional materials do not use the term "inferring," and do not have students consciously distinguish their observations from their inferences.
