● 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. ● Make strategic use of digital media (e.g., textual, graphical, audio, visual, and interactive elements) in presentations to enhance understanding of fndings, reasoning, and evidence and to add interest.

MATH CONNECTIONS

● Reason abstractly and quantitatively. ● Model with mathematics.

● 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. ● Reason abstractly and quantitatively. ● Model with mathematics. ● 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.
