of chemistry.
2-3
Describe and explain what characterizes science and its
methods.
Pose questions and conduct systematic observations.
Use tools to gather, analyze, and interpret data.
Collect data/evidence and use tables/graphs to draw
conclusions
and make inferences based on patterns/trends in data.
Pose answers, explanations or descriptions of events
(inferences).
Use reasoning to justify explanations.
Communicate results of scientific investigations.
Describe the importance of repetition and replication of
scientific
investigations.
Differentiate between hypotheses, theories, and laws.
