VA SOL's
PS.1: The student will demonstrate an understanding of scientific reasoning, logic, and the nature of science by planning and conducting investigations in which
a) chemicals and equipment are used safely;
b) length, mass, volume, density, temperature, weight, and force are accurately measured;
c) conversions are made among metric units, applying appropriate prefixes;
d) triple beam and electronic balances, thermometers, metric rulers, graduated cylinders, probeware, and spring scales are
used to gather data;
j) valid conclusions are made after analyzing data;
k) research methods are used to investigate practical problems and questions;
l) experimental results are presented in appropriate written form;
m) models and simulations are constructed and used to illustrate and explain phenomena; and
n) current applications of physical science concepts are used.
