California State Content Standards:

Investigation & Experimentation

1.a) Select and use appropriate tools and technology (such as computer-linked probes, spreadsheets, and graphing calculators) to perform tests, collect data, analyze relationships, and display data.

1.b) Identify and communicate sources of unavoidable experimental error.

1.d) Formulate explanations by using logic and evidence.

1.f) Distinguish between hypothesis and theory as scientific terms.

1.k) Recognize the cumulative nature of scientific evidence.

1.n) Know that when an observation does not agree with an accepted scientific theory, the observation is sometimes mistaken or fraudulent (e.g., the Piltdown Man fossil or unidentified flying objects) and that the theory is sometimes wrong (e.g., the Ptolemaic model of the movement of the Sun, Moon, and planets).
