Achievement Level Descriptors
Science and Engineering Practices (SEP) are the practices that scientists and engineers use when investigating real-world phenomena and designing solutions to problems. There are eight science and engineering practices that apply to all grade levels and content areas.
1. Asking questions (science) and defining problems (engineering)
2. Developing and using models
3. Planning and carrying out investigations
4. Analyzing and interpreting data
5. Using mathematical and computational thinking
6. Constructing explanations (science) and designing solutions (engineering)
7. Engaging in argument with evidence 8. Obtaining, evaluating, and communicating information
Crosscutting Concepts (CCC) are common themes that have applications across all disciplines of science and allow students to connect learning within and across grade levels or content areas. The seven crosscutting concepts apply to all grade levels and content areas.
1. Patterns (PAT)
2. Cause and effect (C/E)
3. Scale, proportion, and quantity (SPQ)
4. Systems and models (SYS)
5. Energy and matter (E/M)
6. Structure and function (S/F)
7. Stability and change (S/C)
