TEKS 2.

  • Scientific processes - The student uses scientific methods during field and laboratory investigations. The student is expected to:
  1. plan and implement investigative procedures including asking questions, formulating testable hypotheses, and selecting equipment and technology;
  2. organize, analyze, evaluate, make inferences, and predict trends from data; and
  3. 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:
  1. analyze, review, and critique scientific explanations, including hypotheses and theories, as to their strengths and weaknesses using scientific evidence and information;
  2. 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:
  1. 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:
  1. research and describe the historical development of the theories of plate tectonics, including continental drift and sea-floor spreading.
