1 The Nature of Science and Technology () Nevada Science Standards (Grades 6-8) Scientific Inquiry (Nature of Science Unifying Concept A) Scientific inquiry is the process by which humans systematically examine the natural world. Scientific inquiry is a human endeavor and involves observation, reasoning, insight, energy, skill, and creativity. Scientific inquiry is used to formulate and test explanations of nature through observation, experiments, and theoretical or mathematical models. Scientific explanations and evidence are constantly reviewed and examined by others. Questioning, response to criticism and open communication are integral to the process of science. By the end of grade band, students know and are able to do everything required in earlier grades and: Grades 6-8 N.8.A N.8.A.1 Students understand that scientific knowledge requires critical consideration of verifiable evidence obtained from inquiry and appropriate investigations. Students know how to identify and critically evaluate information in data, tables, and graphs.

While many of technology s effects on society are regarded as desirable, other effects are seen as less desirable. Instruction in this area should not be solely in science or technology courses, but should be shared by science, math, technology, social studies and language arts. The development and use of technology affects society and the environment in which we live, and at the same time society influences the development of technology and its impact on culture.

These changes can be attributed to genetic and/or environmental influences. This process of change over time is called biological evolution. The diversity of life on Earth is classified using objective characteristics. Scientific classification uses a hierarchy of groups and subgroups based on similarities that reflect evolutionary relationships. By the end of grade band, students know and are able to do everything required in earlier grades and: Grades 6-8 L.8.D Students understand that life forms change over time, contributing to the variety of organisms found on the Earth.
