Science and Engineering Practices Quiz Re-Grade

Question # 2: A group of 7th graders creates and analyzes graphs of the data from an investigation about the relationship between a ball's mass and its speed down a ramp.

My answer: Analyzing and Interpreting Data

Correct answer: Using mathematical and computational thinking

The answer I selected was analyzing and interpreting data. The reason why I thought the answer was analyzing and interpreting data was because the group of 7th graders were analyzing graphs of data. However, I didn't take into account how they were investigating and analyzing the relationship between mass and speed with takes mathematical and computational thinking. Due to how the 7th graders were using mathematical thinking to analyze a graph on the relationship between a ball's mass and speed down a ramp, the correct answer is SP5: Using mathematical and Computational thinking. 

Question #5: Students in Mrs. Garcia's class use a class chart of what different animals eat and group the animals in different ways based on their food sources. Students then discuss which animals would be affected if changes occurred to different food sources.

My answer: Using mathematical and computational thinking

Correct answer: Analyzing and Interpreting Data

The answer I selected was using mathematical and computational thinking. I mixed it up with analyzing and interpreting data which was the correct answer. The students did not use much mathematical and computational thinking. Analyzing and interpreting data is the correct answer due to how the students used and studied charts of what animals eat to understand the way the data works (predict which animals would be affected if certain events happened).
