TEKS 2. Scientific processes.
- The student uses scientific methods during field and laboratory
investigations. The student is expected to:
- plan and implement investigative procedures including asking questions,
formulating testable hypotheses, and selecting equipment and technology;
- organize, analyze, evaluate, make inferences, and predict trends
from data; and
- communicate valid conclusions.
TEKS 3. Scientific processes.
- The student uses critical thinking and scientific problem solving to make
informed decisions. The student is expected to:
- analyze, review, and critique scientific explanations, including hypotheses
and theories, as to their strengths and weaknesses using scientific evidence and
information
- evaluate the impact of research on scientific thought, society,
and the environment.
TEKS 5. Science concepts.
- The student knows about the formation and history of the Earth. The student
is expected to:
- use current theories to design and construct a geologic time
scale.
TEKS 6. The student knows the processes of plate tectonics.
- The student is expected to:
- analyze the processes that power the movement of the Earth’s
continental and oceanic plates and identify the effects of this movement
including faulting, folding, earthquakes, and volcanic activity; and
- analyze methods of tracking continental and oceanic plate movement.
