What should they know is often handed to us as teachers
What they do to show what they know (learning performance):
give students control and give them innovative way that gives them choices'

standards/benchmarks NSES
  science as inquiry as the fallback for telling your principal
Standard A: 121
        Abilities necessary to do scientific inquiry 
        Understanding about scientific inquiry
It will be one of the two bullets on the test!! 

benchmarks 122
        Ask a questions about objects, organisms, and events in the environment.  Fine tune goal is a part of the black explanation of the benchmark
Understanding about scientific inquiry:
        123 one of the bullets is the benchmark

written in box it is the standard 

Learning performances table
        as we go left to right it gets more in depth
        as we go down it gets more complex
        this is how we differentiate our instruction
                some kids we would give an A+ for just conquer the first box others we have to more them over and down to benefit their learning.
        *use this as a tool

Domain: remember 
to recall something from memory 
Example: Astronomy
Factual Knowledge
        Knowledge of details and facts
                Students list the names of the planets
Conceptual Knowledge
        Knowledge of interrelationships, principles, theories and models
                Students write the planets in order, closest to farthest, from the sun
Procedural Knowledge
        Knowledge about how to do something, conduct inquiry, or use a skill
                Students will identify the parts of a telescope
Meta-cognitive Knowledge
        Self-knowledge, knowledge of ones own cognition
                Students will recognize the vastness of space is hard to comprehend

slide of Deriving learning performance from standards 
class example will be on the test. midterm will have one column is 

# of content goals should be very limited!!

LTI: conclusion
Hypothesis: 15 ML would end up having the most mold coverage per square

New experiment:
PH levels and mold growth
Hypothesis:
        More neutral ones will produce the most mold. followed by the more acidic ones and lastly the basic ones will have the least mold. 
 procedure: 
        used gloves and dishes to cut out bread circles. and places in dishes
        the bread sat on a paper towel. 
        we tested the Ph levels of all of our solutions we chose five of them:
                Control: Water
                being tested
                        olive oil
                        lemon juice
                        windex
                        diet coke

        use only 5 ml because our previous experiment showed that too much water is hard to gauge 
        poured the 5 ml so it would stay in the square.
        
kept them at room temperature 
starting temperature: 25 degrees celcius
