Given field and laboratory scenarios and laboratory data, students will construct data tables and graphs, using repeated trials and means to organize data.
Conclusions and Scientific Explanations
![OnTrack OnTrack logo](https://d1yqpar94jqbqm.cloudfront.net/styles/resource_icon_small/s3/images/ontrack_large_9_binder_1.png?itok=bGsrJJzj)
Given laboratory investigation data, students will determine the best conclusion based upon that data.
Measurement
![OnTrack OnTrack logo](https://d1yqpar94jqbqm.cloudfront.net/styles/resource_icon_small/s3/images/ontrack_large_9_binder_1.png?itok=bGsrJJzj)
Given investigation quantitative data, students will determine its degree of precision and/or accuracy and causes for uncertainties in measured data.
