Construct and interpret a two-way table summarizing data on two categorical variables collected from the same subjects. Use relative frequencies calculated for rows or columns to describe possible association between the two variables. Inquiry 6-8 INQA Question. Scientific inquiry involves asking and answering questions and comparing the answer with what scientists already know about the world. 6-8 INQB Investigate. Different kinds of questions suggest different kinds of scientific investigations. 6-8 INQC Investigate. Collecting, analyzing, and displaying data are essential aspects of all investigations. 6-8 INQD Investigate. For an experiment to be valid, all (controlled) variables must be kept the same whenever possible, except for the manipulated (independent) variable being tested and the responding (dependent) variable being measured and recorded. If a variable cannot be controlled, it must be reported and accounted for. 6-8 INQE Model. Models are used to represent objects, events, systems, and processes.

It is important to distinguish between the results of a particular investigation and general conclusions drawn from these results. 6-8 INQG Communicate Clearly. Scientific reports should enable another investigator to repeat the study to check the results. 6-8 INQH Intellectual Honestly. Science advances through openness to new ideas, honesty, and legitimate skepticism. Asking thoughtful questions, querying other scientists' explanations, and evaluating one s own thinking in response to the ideas of others are abilities of scientific inquiry. 6-8 INQI Consider Ethics.
