Labs and Resources Topic 4 3 2 Scientific Practices In addition to score 3.0 performance, the student demonstrates in-depth inferences and applications that go beyond the learning goal. ❏ Engage in scientific questioning to extend thinking or guide investigations within the context of an AP course (SP.3). OR ❏ Connect and relate knowledge across various scales, concepts, and representations in and across domains (SP.7). Apply scientific practices to biology. ❏ Use representations and models (graphs, diagrams, tables, charts) to communicate scientific phenomena and solve scientific problems (SP.1). ❏ Use mathematics appropriately (SP.2). ❏ Implement data collection strategies (SP.4) and perform data analysis and evaluate evidence (SP.5). ❏ Support conclusions using experimental evidence and scientific reasoning. A level 2 in scientific practices fails to meet the learning goal in two areas: Use representations and models to communicate scientific phenomena and solve scientific problems (SP.1). Use mathematics appropriately (SP.2.) Implement data collection strategies (SP.4) and perform data analysis and evaluate evidence (SP.5). Support conclusions using experimental evidence and scientific reasoning. Evolution and Natural Selection Topic 4 3 2
