Study Notes
- Constructing explanations and designing solutions is a skill that progresses from K-5 to 6-8.
- It involves using valid and reliable evidence to explain scientific phenomena.
- The assumption is that natural laws and theories operate consistently over time.
- Geoscience processes have changed Earth's surface at different scales.
- These processes can be slow or rapid, and some are punctuated by catastrophic events.
- Examples of geoscience processes include weathering and deposition by water, ice, and wind.
- The focus is on processes that shape local geographic features.
- The explanations and solutions should be supported by multiple sources of evidence.
- The evidence can come from experiments conducted by the students.
- The goal is to develop scientific literacy and critical thinking skills.
