Nature of Science
'What is Science and how do Scientists work? '
Students will:
* Understanding about scienceLearn about science as a knowledge system: the features of scientific knowledge and the processes by which it is developed; and learn about the ways in which the work of scientists interacts with society.
* Investigating in scienceCarry out science investigations using a variety of approaches: classifying and identifying, pattern seeking, exploring, investigating models, fair testing, making things, or developing systems.
* Communicating in scienceDevelop knowledge of the vocabulary, numeric and symbol systems, and conventions of science and use this knowledge to communicate about their own and others’ ideas.
* Participating and contributingBring a scientific perspective to decisions and actions as appropriate.
