Conduct a scientific investigation demonstrating safe procedures and proper care of laboratory equipment.

Formulate questions that can be answered through research and experimental design.

Apply the components of scientific processes and methods in classroom and laboratory investigations (e.g., hypotheses, experimental design, observations, data analyses, interpretations, theory development).

Construct and analyze graphs (e.g., plotting points, labeling x-and y-axis, creating appropriate titles and legends for circle, bar, and line graphs).

Analyze procedures, data, and conclusions to determine the scientific validity of research.
