Standard: Show Content Tip
6c Plan and conduct a simple investigation based on a student-developed question and write instructions that others can follow to carry out the procedure.


Holistic Rating: Moderate coverage of this standard.
Teacher's Edition that we used cites many activities as meeting this standard that do not significantly address this standard.

Aspects that help student learning:
Four investigations (A4-5, A14-A15, B90-91, and C46-47) provide moderate coverage of this I&E standard and also address grade level content standards. However, they provide too much context and structure for the students to have an in-depth experience of developing their own questions. They provide neither pre-experiment guidance nor post-experiment processing with respect to planning, conducting and writing up the investigation.


Aspects that do not help student learning:
Many activities are cited that meet this standard only in a limited way and/or do not relate to science content at this grade level. They do not enable students to truly develop their own questions. They provide neither pre-experiment guidance nor post-experiment processing with respect to planning, conducting and writing up the investigation. These include the activities cited on pages A22-A23, A42-A43, A48-A49, A62-A63, A70-A71, A78-A79, A86-A87, A95, A100-A101, A108-A109, A120-A121, A131, B4-B5, B18-B19, B24-B25, B61, B90-B91, B109, B114-B115, B140-B141, C31, C32-C33, C55, C56-C57, C68-C69, C76-C77, C93
