Big Ideas
- Scientific explanations and solutions must be supported by empirical data and scientific models.
- Consistency with scientific ideas, principles, and theories is essential when developing valid explanations or solutions.
Essential Questions
- How do data and models support the development of scientific explanations?
- What makes a proposed solution scientifically valid?
- Why is it important for explanations and solutions to be consistent with current scientific principles and theories?
- How can evidence from data and models lead to new scientific ideas or improvements in existing ones?
- In what ways can we determine if an explanation or solution is supported by sufficient evidence?
