Standards
For Mathematics, Science And Technology
 STANDARD
1 - Inquiry, Analysis
and Design
Students will use mathematical analysis, scientific
inquiry and engineering design, as, appropriate, to
pose questions, seek answers and develop solutions.
Mathematical Analysis:
- Use algebraic and geometric representations to
describe and compare data.
Scientific Inquiry:
- Elaborate basic scientific and personal explanations
of natural phenomena.
- Hone ideas through reasoning, library research,
and discussions with others. based on the results
of the test and through public discussion, they
revise the explanation and contemplate additional
research.
Engineering Design:
- Carry out a thorough investigation of an unfamiliar
situation and identify needs for technological innovation.
- Generate creative solution ideas, choose the
optimal solution to the problem.
- Construct a model of the solution.
- In a group setting devise a test of the solution
relative to design criteria and perform the test.
STANDARD
4 - SCIENCE
Physical Setting
Energy exists in many forms. When these forms
change, energy is conserved.
- observe and describe transmission of various
forms of energy.
- explain variations in wavelength and frequency.
- explain and predict different patterns of motion.
STANDARD
5-TECHNOLOGY
Engineering design is an iterative process involving
modeling and optimization, used to develop technological
solutions to problems within given constraints.
- carry out a thorough investigation of an unfamiliar
situation and identify needs for technological innovation.
- generate creative solutions, choose the optimal
solution to the problem.
- construct a model of the solution.
- in a group settings devise a test of the solution
relative to design criteria and perform the test.
Technological tools, materials, and other resources
should be selected on the basis of safety, cost,
availability and appropriateness.
- test, use, and describe the attributes of a range
of materials.
- select appropriate tools and equipment and use
them correctly to process materials and information.
STANDARD
6 - INTERCONNECTEDNESS: COMMON THEMES
Models are simplified representations of objects,
structures or systems used in analysis, explanation,
interpretation or design.
- revise a model to create a more complete or improved
representation of the system.
- find and use mathematical models that behave
in the same manner as the process under investigation.
- compare predictions to actual observations using
test models.
STANDARD
7 - INTERDISCIPLINARY PROBLEM SOLVING
The knowledge and skills of mathematics, science and
technology are used together to make informed decisions
and solve problems.
- design solutions to problems involving familiar
and real contexts, investigate related science concepts
to inform the solution.
- observe phenomena, evaluate them scientifically
by conducting a fair test of the variables, and
present conclusions.
Solving interdisciplinary problems involves a variety
of skills and strategies including effective work
habits, making connections among common themes, and
presenting results.
Participating in an extended, final project would
require students to:
- work effectively
- gather and process information
- generate and analyze ideas
- observe common themes
- realize ideas
- present result
