A. Science as Inquiry

  • For Grades: K-4
    • Understandings about Scientific Inquiry
      • Scientific investigations involve asking and answering a question and comparing the answer with what scientists already know about the world.
      • Simple instruments, such as magnifiers, thermometers, and rulers, provide more information than scientists obtain using only their senses.
      • Scientists develop explanations using observations (evidence) and what they already know about the world (scientific knowledge). Good explanations are based on evidence from investigations.
