A. Explain how scientific evidence is used
to develop and revise scientific predictions, ideas or theories. |
1. Analyze a set of data to derive a
hypothesis and apply that hypothesis to a similar phenomenon (e.g., biome data). 2. Apply scientific inquiry to
evaluate results of scientific investigations, observations, theoretical
models and the explanations proposed by
other scientists. 3. Demonstrate that scientific
explanations adhere to established criteria, for example a proposed
explanation must be logically consistent, it must abide by the rules of evidence
and it must be open to questions and modifications. 4. Explain why scientists can assume that the universe
is a vast single system in which the basic rules are the same everywhere. 7. Explain how theories are judged
by how well they fit with other theories, the range of included observations,
how well they explain observations and how effective they are in predicting new findings. |
|
|
B. Explain how ethical
considerations shape scientific endeavors. |
5. Recognize that bias affects
outcomes. People tend to ignore evidence that challenges their beliefs but
accept evidence that supports their beliefs. Scientist attempt to avoid bias
in their work. 6. Describe the strongly held
traditions of science that serve to keep scientists within the bounds of
ethical professional behavior. |
|
|
C. Explain how societal issues and
considerations affect the progress of science and technology. |
8. Explain that the decision to
develop a new technology is influenced by societal opinions and demands and
by cost benefit considerations. 9. Explain how natural and
human-induced hazards present the need for humans to assess potential danger
and risk. Many changes in the environment designed by humans bring benefits
to society as well as cause risks. 10. Describe costs and trade-offs of various
hazards – ranging from those with minor risk to a few people, to major
catastrophes with major risk to many people. The scale of events and the
accuracy with which scientists and engineers can (and cannot) predict events
are important considerations. 11. Research the role of science and technology
in careers that students plan to pursue. |
