About the Investigations

The Investigations are laboratory experiences that have been developed in order to fully assess Performance Expectations that require authentic hands-on tasks. While successfully completing the Investigations, students will be immersed in 3-dimensional science learning that will help prepare them for the corresponding state summative exam.
