<span style="color: #800080; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">achieved.

<span style="color: #800080; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">Students will recognize that:

<span style="color: #800080; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">a. When a science investigation is done the way it was done before, we expect to get a

<span style="color: #800080; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">similar result.

<span style="color: #800080; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">b. Science involves collecting data and testing hypotheses

<span style="color: #800080; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">c. Scientists often repeat experiments multiple times, and subject their ideas to criticism

<span style="color: #800080; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">by other scientists who may disagree with them and do further tests.

<span style="color: #800080; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">d. All different kinds of people can be and are scientists.

<span style="color: #800080; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">a. Scientists use a common language with precise definitions of terms to make it easier

<span style="color: #800080; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">to communicate their observations to each other.

<span style="color: #800080; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">b. In doing science, it is often helpful to work as a team. All team members should

<span style="color: #800080; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">reach individual conclusions and share their understandings with other members of

<span style="color: #800080; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">the team in order to develop a consensus.

<span style="color: #800080; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">c. Tools such as thermometers, rulers and balances often give more information about

<span style="color: #800080; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">things than can be obtained by just observing things without help.

<span style="color: #800080; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">d. Much can be learned about plants and animals by observing them closely, but care

<span style="color: #800080; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">must be taken to know the needs of living things and how to provide for them.

<span style="color: #800080; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">Advantage can be taken of classroom pets.
