        • Introduction - MST1.C.LE.Introduction:
          Science relies on logic and creativity. Science is both a body of knowledge and a way of knowing - an intellectual and social process that applies human intelligence to explaining how the world works. Scientific explanations are developed using both observations (evidence) and what people already know about the world (scientific knowledge). All scientific explanations are tentative and subject to change. Good science involves questioning, observing and inferring, experimenting, finding evidence, collecting and organizing data, drawing valid conclusions, and undergoing peer review. Understanding the scientific view of the natural world is an essential part of personal, societal, and ethical decision making. Scientific literacy involves internalizing the scientific critical attitude so that it can be applied in everyday life, particularly in relation to health, commercial, and technological claims.

            • Major Understandings - MST1.C.LE.LE.3.1a:
              Interpretation of data leads to development of additional hypotheses, the formulation of generalizations, or explanations of natural phenomena.

            • Performance Indicator - MST1.C.LE.LE.3.2:
              Students apply statistical analysis techniques when appropriate to test if chance alone explains the result.
            • Performance Indicator - MST1.C.LE.LE.3.3:
              Students assess correspondence between the predicted result contained in the hypothesis and the actual result, and reach a conclusion as to whether or not the explanation on which the prediction was based is supported.

            • Major Understandings - MST1.C.LE.LE.3.4a:
              Hypotheses are valuable, even if they turn out not to be true, because they may lead to further investigation.
            • Major Understandings - MST1.C.LE.LE.3.4b:
              Claims should be questioned if the data are based on samples that are very small, biased, or inadequately controlled or if the conclusions are based on the faulty, incomplete, or misleading use of numbers.
            • Major Understandings - MST1.C.LE.LE.3.4c:
              Claims should be questioned if fact and opinion are intermingled, if adequate evidence is not cited, or if the conclusions do not follow logically from the evidence given.

            • Major Understandings - MST1.C.LE.LE.3.5a:
              One assumption of science is that other individuals could arrive at the same explanation if they had access to similar evidence. Scientists make the results of their investigations public; they should describe the investigations in ways that enable others to repeat the investigations.
            • Major Understandings - MST1.C.LE.LE.3.5b:
              Scientists use peer review to evaluate the results of scientific investigations and the explanations proposed by other scientists. They analyze the experimental procedures, examine the evidence, identify faulty reasoning, point out statements that go beyond the evidence, and suggest alternative explanations for the same observations.
