They demonstrate their scientific skills and processes when they make predictions and record and present experimental results. Skills and processes Students work in pairs and choose a simple machine. Students make a prediction before they follow their procedure. During the experiment, they record data and interpret their results. Then they take a specific situation, such as transporting a person in a wheelchair up a flight of stairs, and provide possible solutions using simple machines.
Students think and talk about all of the ways they learn science.
The teacher lists their ideas on a chart or chalkboard. Each student chooses one of the ways that works best for him or her, and explains why. These resources are those that have been evaluated since 1992. A complete list of resources to support this organizer can be found in Appendix B .
