PS.5 Modeling

Standards

  1. Oklahoma Priority Academic Student Skills (PASS): Science > Biology I > Science Processes and Inquiry > PS.5

    Model – Modeling is the active process of forming a mental or physical representation from data, patterns, or relationships to facilitate understanding and enhance prediction. The student will accomplish these objectives to meet this process standard.

    Content Skills Learning Targets Big Ideas Essential Questions
    6 - Model (Representation)
    2 - Predict (Using a model)
    6 - I can model a representation.
    2 - I can make predictions using a model.
    A. Modeling helps to conceptualize what is observed.
    A.1 What observations can be modeled?
    A.2 What kind of representations can be used to demonstrate what is observed?
  2. Oklahoma Priority Academic Student Skills (PASS): Science > Biology I > Science Processes and Inquiry > PS.5 > O.1

    Model
    2 - Interpret (Model)
    2 - I can interpret a model that explains observations.
    A. A model is not a good model if it can not be interpreted to explain a set of observations.
    A.1 How does one interpret a model to see if it explains a given set of observations?
  3. Oklahoma Priority Academic Student Skills (PASS): Science > Biology I > Science Processes and Inquiry > PS.5 > O.2

    Select predictions based on models (e.g., pedigrees, life cycles), and when appropriate, apply mathematical reasoning to make accurate predictions.
