SPI 0807.Inq.2 Select tools and procedures needed to conduct a moderately complex experiment. SPI 0807.Inq.3 Interpret and translate data into a table, graph, or diagram. SPI 0807.Inq.4 Draw a conclusion that establishes a cause and effect relationship supported by evidence. SPI 0807.Inq.5 Identify a faulty interpretation of data that is due to bias or experimental error. SPI 0807.T/E.1 Identify the tools and procedures needed to test the design features of a prototype. SPI 0807.T/E.2 Evaluate a protocol to determine if the engineering design process was successfully applied.
