Description

6 worksheets with an additional graphic organizer for helping students analyze data and use it to create a scientific explanation using NGSS Physical Science content. Each data set in this series has a written short introduction that should help with the interpretation of the data for students.

This set includes motion, magnetism, forces, and thermal energy. Supports lessons for NGSS Science and Engineering Practices of Analyzing and Interpreting Data, and Constructing Explanations.

Topics Covered:

Wing Length and Falling Speed of a Paper Copter (Motion Investigation, NGSS MS-PS2-2)
Air, Water, Sand, and Metal Samples of the Same Mass, Sitting In the Sun (Specific Heat Investigation, NGSS MS-PS3-4)
Shoe Size and Height (Data Analysis Activity NGSS SEP Analyzing and Interpreting data)
The temperature of Hot Water in a Cup with Different Wraps (Thermal Insulators Investigation, NGSS MS-PS3-3)
Mass and Force of Impact (Motion Investigation, NGSS MS-PS2-2)
Number of Wire Wraps and Magnetic Strength (Magnetic Force Investigation NGSS MS-PS2-3)

Key Features:

NGSS DCI Connections: Each data set is accompanied by a short introduction to aid students in interpreting the data effectively.
Teacher Notes: Detailed guidance for educators on implementing the worksheets.
Variety of Topics: Covers areas like motion investigation, specific heat investigation, data analysis, thermal insulators investigation, and magnetic force investigation.
Additional Resources: Includes options for color and black-and-white graphs, along with worksheets for students to paste their own graphs.

You can use these examples with your students even if they haven't done the labs, but you might need to give them some background about the topic or time to "read" the graph. however, this is like many state testing situations so it is good practice to have to do a "cold read" of a graph.

This resource also suggests further data analysis activities and skill boosters aligned with NGSS standards.
