2 SC.912.N.1.3 (L) Recognize that the strength or usefulness of a scientific claim is evaluated through scientific argumentation, which depends on critical and logical thinking, and the active consideration of alternative scientific explanations to explain the data presented. SC.912.N.1.4 (H) Identify sources of information and assess their reliability according to the strict standards of scientific investigation. SC.912.N.1.5 (M) Describe and provide examples of how similar investigations conducted in many parts of the world result in the same outcome.

3 SC.912.N.2.1 (H) Identify what is science, what clearly is not science, and what superficially resembles science (but fails to meet the criteria for science). 2 - The Characteristics of Scientific Knowledge SC.912.N.2.2 (H) Identify which questions can be answered through science and which questions are outside the boundaries of scientific investigation, such as questions addressed by other ways of knowing, such as art, philosophy, and religion.
