SC.7.N.1.2 (AA): Differentiate replication (by others) from repetition (multiple trials). SC.7.N.1.5 (AA): Describe the methods used in the pursuit of a scientific explanation as seen in different fields of science such as biology, geology, and physics. SC.6.N.2.2: (AA): Explain that scientific knowledge is durable because it is open to change as new evidence or interpretations are encountered. SC.7.N.3.1 (AA): Recognize and explain the difference between theories and laws and give several examples of scientific theories and the evidence that supports them. SC.7.N.3.2 (AA): Identify the benefits and limitations of the use of scientific models. SC.7.N.1.7: Explain that scientific knowledge is the result of a great deal of debate and confirmation within the science community. SC.7.N.2.1: Identify an instance from the history of science in which scientific knowledge has changed when new evidence or new interpretations are encountered. SC.7.N.1.4: Identify test variables (independent variables) and outcome variables (dependent variables) in an experiment. SC.7.N.1.3: Distinguish between an experiment (which must involve the identification and control of variables) and other forms of scientific investigation and explain that not all scientific knowledge is derived from experimentation. |
