Unit 1: Science and Engineering Practices
Unit Standards: These standards will provide the backbone for all experimental inquiry that we will do throughout the year. These standards are a part of the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) and are a part of Common Core. These skills will be modeled, explored, and practiced in class throughout the year in order to design and perform many different experiments. Picture citation: N.p., n.d. Web. 22 July 2012.
