Quarter 4

McGraw Hill Module 4

● Conduct short as well as more sustained research projects to answer a question (including a self-generated question) or solve a problem; narrow or broaden the inquiry when appropriate; synthesize multiple sources on the subject, demonstrating understanding of the subject under investigation.

MATH CONNECTIONS

● Reason abstractly and quantitatively. ● Represent data with plots on the real number line. ● Understand statistics as a process for making inferences about population parameters based on a random sample from that population. ● Evaluate reports based on data. ● Use units as a way to understand problems and to guide the solution of multi-step problems; choose and interpret units consistently in formulas; choose and interpret the scale and the origin in graphs and data displays. ● Defne appropriate quantities for the purpose of descriptive modeling. ● Choose a level of accuracy appropriate to limitations on measurement when reporting quantities.

Phenomena Introduction

Module Launch: “Why are bee populations declining?” Post the phenomena question in the room. Keep it up throughout the module. Each day revisit the phenomena question and as a class write what new evidence from the lesson we can use to help answer the question. Watch the video: Encounter the Phenomenon: Population Ecology
