National
Science Education Standards
This activity addresses the following National
Science Education Standards:
Physical Science: Transfer of Energy (Grades 5-8)
Light interacts with matter by transmission (including refraction),
absorption, or scattering (including reflection). To see an
object, light from that object--emitted by or scattered from
it--must enter the eye.
Science as Inquiry: Understandings about Scientific Inquiry
(Grades 5-12)
Technology is used to gather data enhances accuracy and allows
scientists to analyze and quantify results of investigations.
Science in Personal and Social Perspectives: Science
and Technology in Society: Use Appropriate Tools and Techniques
to Gather, Analyze, and Interpret Data (Grades 5-8)
Use appropriate tools and techniques to gather, analyze, and
interpret data. The use of tools and techniques, including
mathematics, will be guided by the question asked and the
investigations students design. The use of computers for the
collection, summary, and display of evidence is part of this
standard. Students should be able to access, gather, store,
retrieve, and organize data, using hardware and software designed
for these purposes.
Science as Inquiry: Understandings about Scientific
Inquiry (Grades 9-12)
cientists rely on technology to enhance the gathering and
manipulation of data. New techniques and tools provide new
evidence to guide inquiry and new methods to gather data,
thereby contributing to the advance of science. The accuracy
and precision of the data, and therefore the quality of the
exploration, depends on the technology used.
Science as Inquiry: Use Technology and Mathematics
to Improve Investigations and Communications. (Grades
9-12)
A variety of technologies, such as hand tools, measuring instruments,
and calculators, should be an integral component of scientific
investigations. The use of computers for the collection, analysis,
and display of data is also a part of this standard. Mathematics
plays an essential role in all aspects of an inquiry. For
example, measurement is used for posing questions, formulas
are used for developing explanations, and charts and graphs
are used for communicating results.
