BODY OF KNOWLEDGE: NATURE OF SCIENCE
Big Idea 1: The Practice of Science
A: Scientific inquiry is a multifaceted activity; The processes of science include the formulation of scientifically investigable questions, construction of investigations into those questions, the collection of appropriate data, the evaluation of the meaning of those data, and the communication of this evaluation.
B: The processes of science frequently do not correspond to the traditional portrayal of "the scientific method."
C: Scientific argumentation is a necessary part of scientific inquiry and plays an important role in the generation and validation of scientific knowledge.
D: Scientific knowledge is based on observation and inference; it is important to recognize that these are very different things. Not only does science require creativity in its methods and processes, but also in its questions and explanations.
BENCHMARK CODE / BENCHMARK
SC.5.N.1.1 / SC.5.N.1.1 Define a problem, use appropriate reference materials to support scientific understanding, plan and carry out scientific investigations of various types such as: systematic observations, experiments requiring the identification of variables, collecting and organizing data, interpreting data in charts, tables, and graphics, analyze information, make predictions, and defend conclusions. AA
Cognitive Complexity: Level 3: Strategic Thinking & Complex Reasoning
ACCESS POINTS
SC.5.N.1.In.1: Ask a question about the natural world, use selected reference materials to find information, work with others to carry out a simple experiment, and share results.
SC.5.N.1.Su.1: Ask questions about the natural world, use selected materials to find information, observe, and identify answers to the question.
SC.5.N.1.Pa.1: Explore, observe, and select an object or picture to respond to a question about the natural world.

http://www.cpalms.org/Public/PreviewStandard/Preview/1708
Big Idea 2: The Characteristics of Scientific Knowledge
A: Scientific knowledge is based on empirical evidence, and is appropriate for understanding the natural world, but it provides only a limited understanding of the supernatural, aesthetic, or other ways of knowing, such as art, philosophy, or religion.
B: Scientific knowledge is durable and robust, but open to change.
C: Because science is based on empirical evidence it strives for objectivity, but as it is a human endeavor the processes, methods, and knowledge of science include subjectivity, as well as creativity and discovery.
BENCHMARK CODE / BENCHMARK
SC.5.N.2.1 / Recognize and explain that science is grounded in empirical observations that are testable; explaining must always be linked with evidence. AA
