Evaluate experimental and engineering designs.
Teachers can use 5.2D to sequence instruction on Evaluate Investigations and monitor progress toward mastery.
In Science, 5.2D defines what success looks like for Evaluate Investigations—from core skills to real‑world use.
Start with concrete or familiar examples, connect to prior knowledge, model a clear process, and provide checks for understanding aligned to 5.2D.
Standard 5.2D describes the essential skills and understandings for Evaluate Investigations in Grade 5. It clarifies the learning outcomes and what successful work looks like.
It lays groundwork for the next grade by deepening accuracy and flexibility with Evaluate Investigations, so students can tackle more complex problems later.
Use short exit tickets and tasks where students explain decisions, show multiple representations, or justify answers—directly aligned to 5.2D.
