Students establish the core practices needed for success in Grade 9 Science. They learn laboratory safety, scientific measurement, SI units, uncertainty, variables, controls, data tables, graphing, evidence-based reasoning, and scientific communication. Students also examine science as a way of knowing and begin using systems thinking to connect matter, energy, organisms, technologies, and environments. The topic includes a short investigation in which students develop a question, design a fair test, collect and analyze evidence, and communicate a defensible conclusion.
