Math

M.O.CM.3.2 : compute measures to solve real-world problems, using relationships involving perimeter, area, surface area and volume of geometric figures.
M.O.CM.3.3 : analyze the connections of various geometric shapes and patterns to art, architecture, and nature.
M.O.CM.5.2 : integrate other disciplines into the study of mathematics through simulations, research, and projects
M.O.CM.5.4 : design and conduct probability investigations and then determine, analyze, and communicate the results.
M.O.CM.5.5 : collect and interpret data using various methods of displaying numerical data, including frequency distributions, graphs, histograms, stem-and-leaf plots, and box-and-whiskers plots, using technology when appropriate.
M.O.CM.5.7 : apply the measures of central tendency and the measures of dispersion to workplace situations.
M.O.PS.5.1 : distinguish between experimental and theoretical probability.
M.O.PS.5.2 : using a real-world problem solving investigation, create and interpret data using various methods of displaying circle graphs, histograms, and frequency curves, make predictions, include information concerning outliers, present and justify results.
M.O.PS.5.4 : express the chances of events occurring either in terms of a probability or odds.
M.O.PS.5.6 : analyze measures of central tendency (mean, median, and mode) from data presented in a variety of forms such as charts, tables, and graphs or from data created through experimentation.
M.O.PS.5.9 : analyze the role of sampling, randomness, bias, and sample size in data collection and interpretation.
M.O.PS.5.10 : test the validity of a hypothesis using statistical concepts including a t-test, justify results.
M.O.PS.5.11 : determine the correlation values for given data or for data generated by students and use the results to describe the association of the variables within the given data. Identify whether this association is systematic or predictable.

Science

AES.2.8 : design, conduct, evaluate and revise experiments (e.g., identify questions and concepts that guide investigations; design investigations; identify independent and dependent variables in experimental investigations; manipulate variables to extend experimental activities; use technology and mathematics to improve investigations and communications; formulate and revise scientific explanations and models using logic and evidence; recognize alternative explanations; communicate and defend a scientific argument).
AES.2.7 : demonstrate science processes within a problem solving setting (e.g., observing, measuring, calculating, communicating, comparing, ordering, categorizing, classifying, relating, hypothesizing, predicting, inferring, considering alternatives, and applying).
AES.2.6 : use appropriate technology solutions (e.g., computer, CBL, probe interfaces, software) to measure and collect data; interpret data; analyze and/or report data; interact with simulations; conduct research; and to present and communicate conclusions.
AES.2.1 : model and exhibit the skills, attitudes and/or values of scientific inquiry (e.g., curiosity, logic, objectivity, openness, skepticism, appreciation, diligence, integrity, ethical practice, fairness, creativity).
AES.2.2 : demonstrate ethical practices for science (e.g., established research protocol, accurate record keeping, replication of results and peer  review).
AES.2.3 : apply scientific approaches to seek solutions for personal and societal issues.
AES.2.4 : properly and safely manipulate equipment, materials, chemicals, organisms and models.
AES.2.5 : conduct explorations in a variety of environments (e.g., laboratories, museums, libraries, parks and other outdoors locations).
AB.1.1 : formulate scientific explanations based on the student's observational and experimental evidence, accounting for variability in experimental results.
AB.1.2 : recognize that science has practical and theoretical limitations.
AB.1.3 : recognize that science is based on a set of observations in a testable framework that demonstrate basic laws that are consistent.
AB.1.4 : conclude that science is a blend of creativity, logic and mathematics.
AB.3.1 : analyze systems to understand the natural and designed world; use systems analysis to make predictions about behaviors in systems; recognize order in units of matter, objects or events.
AB.3.2 : apply evidence from models to make predictions about interactions and changes in systems.
AB.3.3 : measure changes in systems using graphs and equations relating these to rate, scale, patterns, trends and cycles.
AB.3.4 : understand that different characteristics, properties or relationships within a system might change as its dimensions are increased or decreased (e.g., scale up, scale down).
AB.5.5 : use appropriate technology solutions to measure and gather data; interpret data; analyze data, and to present and communicate conclusions.
AB.5.3 : apply scientific skills and technological tools to design solutions that address personal and societal needs.
AB.5.2 : investigate and analyze the interdependence of science and technology.
AB.5.1 : summarize technological advances in the biological sciences.
AB.6.4 : describe the impact of cultural, technological, and economic influences on the evolving nature of scientific thought and knowledge.
AB.6.5 : explore occupational opportunities in science and technology including the academic preparation necessary.
AB.6.6 : engage in decision making activities and actions to resolve science-technology-society issues.
