(2) Scientific processes. The student uses scientific methods during field and laboratory investigations.

The student is expected to:

  1. plan and implement experimental procedures including asking questions, formulating testable hypotheses, and selecting equipment and technology;
  2. collect data and make measurements with precision;
  3. organize, analyze, evaluate, make inferences, and predict trends from data; and
  4. communicate valid conclusions.
