| Science
Process |
E1.1A |
Generate new
questions that can be investigated in the laboratory or field. |
| Science Process |
E1.1B |
Evaluate
the uncertainties or validity of scientific conclusions using an
understanding of sources of measurement error, the challenges of controlling
variables, accuracy of data analysis, logic of argument, logic of
experimental design, and/or the dependence on underlying assumptions. |
| Science Process |
E1.1C |
Conduct
scientific investigations using appropriate tools and techniques (e.g.,
selecting an instrument that measures the desired quantity—length, volume,
weight, time interval, temperature—with the appropriate level of precision). |
| Science Process |
E1.1D |
Identify
patterns in data and relate them to theoretical models. |
| Science Process |
E1.1E |
Describe
a reason for a given conclusion using evidence from an investigation. |
| Science Process |
E1.1f |
Predict
what would happen if the variables, methods, or timing of an investigation
were changed. |
| Science Process |
E1.1g |
Based
on empirical evidence, explain and critique the reasoning used to draw a
scientific conclusion or explanation. |
| Science Process |
E1.1h |
Design
and conduct a systematic scientific investigation that tests a hypothesis.
Draw conclusions from data presented in charts or tables. |
| Science Process |
E1.1i |
Distinguish between scientific explanations
that are regarded as current scientific consensus and the emerging questions
that active researchers investigate. |
| Science Process |
E1.2A |
Critique
whether or not specific questions can be answered through scientific
investigations. |
| Science Process |
E1.2B |
Identify
and critique arguments about personal or societal issues based on scientific
evidence. |
| Science Process |
E1.2C |
Develop
an understanding of a scientific concept by accessing information from
multiple sources. Evaluate the scientific accuracy and significance of the
information. |
| Science Process |
E1.2D |
Evaluate
scientific explanations in a peer review process or discussion format. |
| Science Process |
E1.2E |
Evaluate
the future career and occupational prospects of science fields. |
| Science Process |
E1.2f |
Critique
solutions to problems, given criteria and scientific constraints. |
| Science Process |
E1.2g |
Identify
scientific tradeoffs in design decisions and choose among alternative
solutions. |
| Science Process |
E1.2h |
Describe
the distinctions between scientific theories, laws, hypotheses, and
observations. |
| Science Process |
E1.2i |
Explain
the progression of ideas and explanations that lead to science theories that
are part of the current scientific consensus or core knowledge. |
| Science Process |
E1.2j |
Apply
science principles or scientific data to anticipate effects of technological
design decisions. |
| Science Process |
E1.2k |
Analyze
how science and society interact from a historical, political, economic, or
social perspective. |
