- Earth and Space: Changes in the Earth and Sky - stream table
- Physical Science: Position and Motion of Objects - Forces

Grade 6 - Concept Outcome
|
Current scientific knowledge and understanding guide
scientific investigations. Different scientific domains employ different
methods, core theories and standards to advance scientific knowledge and
understanding.
|
- Use examples of different investigations, compare methods
used and analyze how these methods advanced scientific knowledge.
|
Grade 8 - Concept Outcome
|
Scientific explanations emphasize evidence, have logically
consistent arguments, and use scientific principles, models and theories.
The scientific community accepts and uses such explanations until displaced
by better scientific ones. When such displacement occurs, science advances.
|
- Analyze a fairly recent scientific explanation that supplanted
another scientific explanation. Give reasons for this new explanation.
