Science+Processes


 * Science Processes **
 * **//S.IP.M.1 -//** //Inquiry involves generating questions, conducting investigations, and developing solutions to problems through reasoning and observations.//


 * **//S.IA.M.1 -//** //Inquiry includes an analysis and presentation of findings that lead to future questions, research, and investigations.//


 * **//S.RS.M.1 -//** //Reflecting on knowledge is the application of scientific knowledge to new and different situations. Reflecting on knowledge requires careful analysis of evidence that decision-making and the application of science throughout history and within society.//
