Science 4.3
Scientific investigation and reasoning. The student uses critical thinking and scientific problem solving to make informed decisions. The student is expected to:
- (1) analyze, evaluate, and critique scientific
explanations by using evidence, logical reasoning, and experimental and
observational testing;
- (A) represent the natural world using models such as the water cycle and stream tables and identify their limitations, including accuracy and size; and
- (B) connect grade-level appropriate science concepts with the history of science, science careers, and contributions of scientists.
