Student work samples:

Real-World Applications: Science investigations must go beyond the classroom

Literacy Supports Content Area State Assessment • Sample FCAT 2. 0 Science Nature of Science Question reasoning • Students in Ms. Alvarez’s eighth grade science class are investigating how temperature, in degrees Celsius affects the solubility of a compound in 100 milliliters (m. L) of water. Ms. Alvarez provides the students with a graph that shows the solubility of a certain compound, as shown below. (˚C), She then tells the students that she will demonstrate how many grams (g) of the compound will dissolve in 100 m. L of water at Based on the information in the graph, which of the following is the best prediction of how many grams of the compound will dissolve at 40˚C. evidence 40˚C? F. 40 g. claim G. 65 g. H. 85 g. I. 100 g.
