This resource turns using data to revise models into a complete, ready to use review for Grade 9-12 earth science, covering the same idea from three different angles.
Students will answer questions such as "If a model predicting hurricane intensity is consistently off, what is the first step to take?", "If a model predicts higher sea levels than observed data shows, what should be the next step?", and "A student's model for predicting tides is based on outdated lunar data. What should they do?"
All three worksheets cover the same topic in different question styles. That means you can use one as a pretest, another for practice or homework, and the third as a follow up quiz, without students ever seeing the same question twice.
This set is part of a standards aligned earth science unit. The unit also covers Observations to Questions, Hypotheses from Evidence, Variables in Testable, Defining Multi Criteria, Planning Observational, and Designing Controlled, all in the same three worksheet format, so your classroom routine stays familiar while the topic changes.
Suitable for Grade 9-12 earth science classes, and for review at any point in the school year. This set is aligned to Virginia SOL standard ES.1c.
