Strand 1: Inquiry Process [6.1] Inquiry Process establishes the basis for students’ learning in science. Students use scientific processes: questioning, planning and conducting investigations, using appropriate tools and techniques to gather data, thinking critically and logically about relationships between evidence and explanations, and communicating results. Concept 1: Observations, Questions, and Hypotheses [6.1.1] Formulate predictions, questions, or hypotheses based on observations. Locate appropriate resources. 6.1.1.PO1 Differentiate among a question, hypothesis, and prediction.
