  2. Assessed topics • Articulate the nature of scientific inquiry • Make objective observations and evaluate scientific data • Use fundamental scientific concepts to draw quantitative conclusions about the physical universe

  3. Assessment Instruments • Holistic: Describe your interpretation of what is meant by the “scientific method” as used in science. • Evaluate data: A data table was given of water levels as a function of time in Coffeeville, OK. At what rate was the water rising at 2:30 pm? • Scientific Concepts: The 1685 description of tides given What data can you cite to support or disprove this theory?

  4. Conclusions • Students answered correctly much of the time but were unable to explain why they had given that answer. • Students misunderstand “law of nature”. They think that these are used to prove things. • Students strongly mistrust tabloid style “scientific” claims. • Students do not distinguish well between scientific reports and other reports.
