Technology is invented and improved by the use of scientific principles. In turn, scientists depend on technology in performing experiments, analyzing data and communicating the results. They learn how technology, in turn, is the result of a scientific design process that includes continual refinements and improvements. Learn and contribute productively as individuals and as members of groups. The practical application of science requires both individual and group efforts.
Individuals bring unique insight and focus to the work of inquiry and problem solving.
Working in groups, scientists pose questions, share hypotheses, divide their experimental efforts, and share data and results. Recognize and apply connections of important information and ideas within and among learning areas. Science has many disciplines, all interrelated. Science, at its best, provides knowledge and skills that improve the understanding of virtually all subjects.
