This skill means having the ability to design and plan a procedure to test a hypothesis to a problem and collect qualitative and quantitative data. My piece of evidence is my "How Fast Can a Sphero Travel?" Lab. This lab demonstrates my mastery in the skill Planning and Carrying Out Investigations because I had to watch the procedure video to understand the purpose of the lab and create a plan to investigate the speed of a sphero. Once I had a plan on how to measure measure the speed, where to place the sphero, and which setting to put the sphero on, I carried out the experiment to collect quantitative data on the speed of the sphero and qualitative data on the way that the sphero moved. I used a data table to organize my data for the distance the sphero traveled in centimeters over a specific amount of time.

This skill means having the ability to understand the data that was collected and draw conclusions based on any trends that were found. My piece of evidence is my Graphing Motion Lab. This lab demonstrates my mastery in the skill Analyzing and Interpreting Data because I had to collect data on sphero motion that was detected by a motion sensor and then I interpreted what the data meant through graphs. In my analysis of the lab, I described what the slope of each motion graph meant; A slope that lasted for a greater number of seconds than a shorter slope meant that the sphero was moving away from the sensor at a slower rate.

This skill means having the ability to use calculations to find quantitative relationships between data that was collected in the real world and relates to the real world. My piece of evidence is my Graphing Game. This slideshow demonstrates my mastery in Using Mathematics & Computational Data because I applied the formulas for distance, displacement, average velocity, and greatest instantaneous velocity to find this data for each of the graphs. Through making these calculations, I was able to make sense of the graphs and learn that graphs can look very different from each other even if some of their values may be the same.

This skills means having the ability to use data that was the product of an investigation and to provide a claim that is supported by evidence or creating solutions to problems. My piece of evidence is my Graphing Motion Lab. This lab demonstrates my mastery at Constructing Explanations and Designing Solutions because I provided an explanation in my analysis for what a graph would like like if a sphero moved towards the sensor and I backed up my claim with evidence from the lab. I concluded that the graph of the sphero moving towards the sensor looks different than the graph of the sphero moving away from the sensor because the line is reversed, meaning that the line became steady towards the end of the 2 seconds when the sphero moved toward the sensor.
