Science Processes Standards
|
|
1.
|
When studying science content, ask questions suggested by
current social issues, scientific literature, and observations
of phenomena, build hypothesis that might answer some of these
questions, design possible investigations, and describe results
that might emerge from such investigations
|
|
2.
|
Identify issues from an area of science study, write questions
that could be investigated, review previous research on these
questions, and design and conduct responsible and safe investigations
to help answer the questions.
|
|
3.
|
Evaluate the data collected during an investigation, critique
the data collection procedures and results, and suggest ways
to make any needed improvements.
|
|
4.
|
During investigations, choose the best data-collection procedures
and materials available, use them competently, and calculate
the degree of precision of the resulting data..
|
|
5.
|
Use the explanations and models found in the earth and space,
life and environmental, and physical sciences to develop likely
explanations for the results of their investigations.
|
|
6.
|
Present the results of investigations to groups concerned
with he issues, explain the meaning and implications of the results,
and answer question in terms the audience can understand.
|
|
7.
|
Evaluate the articles and reports in the popular press, in
scientific journals, on television, and on the Internet, using
criteria related to accuracy, degree of error, sampling, treatment
of data, and other standards of experimental
design.
|
|
8.
|
Advocate a solution or combination of solutions to a problem
in science or technology.
|
|
9.
|
Investigate impact of current plans or proposals concerning
resource management, scientific knowledge, or technological development
on the environment, ecology and quality of life in a community
or region.
|
|
10.
|
Evaluate data and sources of information when using scientific
information to make decision
|
|
11.
|
Construct a plan that includes the use of current scientific
knowledge and scientific reasoning.
|
|
12.
|
Relate the major themes of science to human progress in understanding
science and the world.
|
|
13.
|
Apply the underlying themes of science to develop defensible
visions of the future.
|
|
14.
|
Show how conflicting assumptions about science themes lead
to different opinions and decisions about such topics as evolution,
health, population, longevity, education, and use of resources,
and show* how these opinions and decisions have diverse effects
on an individual, a community, and a country, both now and in
the future.
|
|
15.
|
Give examples that show* how partial systems, models and
explanations are used to give quick and reasonable solutions
that are accurate enough for basic needs.
|
|
16.
|
Construct arguments that show how conflicting models and
explanations of events can start with similar evidence.
|
|
17.
|
Show how the ideas and themes of science can be used to make
real-life decisions.
