SCIENCE VOCABULARY CONCEPTS AND STUDY SKILLS
LG: Apply scientific processes to complete/communicate laboratory investigations -
SCIENTIFIC/ENGINEERING METHODS (a.k.a. "Why do we have to know this stuff?")
LG: Apply SCIENTIFIC PROCESSES to complete/communicate laboratory investigations (LAB SAFETY)LG: Describe interactions between human populations and the environment and develop/compare viable solutions to address needs/risks (ENGINEERING)Every year, students ask me, "why do I have to learn Science if I don't want to have a career in a scientific field?" If you look at the similarities between the Scientific Method and the Engineering Method, you may get a clue (hint: could you "engineer" new products or ways of doing things in your dream job?)
