Changes in environments can be natural or influenced by humans. Some changes are good, some are bad, and some are neither good or bad. Some environmental changes occur slowly, and others occur rapidly. Although men and women using scientific inquiry have learned much about the objects, events, and phenomena in nature, much more remains to be understood. Science will never be finished.
Many people choose science as a career and devote their entire lives to studying it.
Many people derive great pleasure from doing science. Design and conduct a scientific investigation. Use appropriate tools and techniques to gather, analyze, and interpret data. Develop descriptions, explanations, predictions, and models using evidence. Think critically and logically to make the relationships between evidence and explanations.
