Acquiring Information - Using a variety of pieces of lab equipment to receive the most accurate readings. Developing good techniques to become precise when using lab equipment.
Analyzing Information - Analysis of measurements that devices give, then determining if that device is accurate enough for the given task. Analysis of a situation and providing the safest environment for themselves and others within the lab.
Connecting Information - Discovering similarities and differences between the types of equipment and the results they provide.
NGSS HS-ESS3-4: Evaluate or refine a technological solution that reduces impacts of human activities on natural systems.
NGSS HS-ESS2-2: Analyze geoscience data to make the claim that one change to Earth's surface can create feedbacks that cause changes to other Earth systems.
NGSS HS-ESS2-4: Use a model to describe how variations in the flow of energy into and out of Earth’s systems result in changes in climate.
