Thus any new idea is initially tentative, but over time, as it survives repeated testing, it can acquire the status of a fact—a piece of knowledge that is unquestioned and uncontested, such as the existence of atoms.
Scientists use the resulting theories and the models that represent them to explain and predict causal relationships. When the theory is well tested, its predictions are reliable, permitting the application of science to technologies and a wide variety of policy decisions.
In other words, science is not a miscellany of facts but a coherent body of knowledge that has been hard won and that serves as a powerful tool. Engagement in modeling and in critical and evidence-based argumentation invites and encourages students to reflect on the status of their own knowledge and their understanding of how science works. And as they involve themselves in the practices of science and come to appreciate its basic nature, their level of sophistication in understanding how any given practice contributes to the scientific enterprise can continue to develop across all grade levels.

The United States' position in the global economy is declining, in part because U. To address the critical issues of U. A Framework for K Science Education outlines a broad set of expectations for students in science and engineering in grades K These expectations will inform the development of new standards for K science education and, subsequently, revisions to curriculum, instruction, assessment, and professional development for educators.
This book identifies three dimensions that convey the core ideas and practices around which science and engineering education in these grades should be built. These three dimensions are: crosscutting concepts that unify the study of science through their common application across science and engineering; scientific and engineering practices; and disciplinary core ideas in the physical sciences, life sciences, and earth and space sciences and for engineering, technology, and the applications of science.
The overarching goal is for all high school graduates to have sufficient knowledge of science and engineering to engage in public discussions on science-related issues, be careful consumers of scientific and technical information, and enter the careers of their choice.
A Framework for K Science Education is the first step in a process that can inform state-level decisions and achieve a research-grounded basis for improving science instruction and learning across the country. The book will guide standards developers, teachers, curriculum designers, assessment developers, state and district science administrators, and educators who teach science in informal environments.

And then, he or she creates a solution that meets the need. In real life, the distinction between science and engineering is not always clear.
Scientists often do some engineering work, and engineers frequently apply scientific principles, including the scientific method. Much of what we often call "computer science" is actually engineering—programmers creating new products. Your project may fall in the gray area between science and engineering, and that's OK. Many projects, even if related to engineering, can and should use the scientific method.
However, if the objective of your project is to invent a new product, computer program, experience, or environment, then it makes sense to follow the engineering design process. Choose whichever appeals you the most:. Science is knowledge of the natural world put together, Engineering is creation based on the scientific knowledge put together, and Technology is the set of engineered creations put together.
Science comes from observation of the world, Engineering comes from aquiring and applying knowledge, and Technology comes from repeated application and approval of the engineered tools. Science is about creating meaning of natural phenomenon, Engineering is about creating new devices, tools and processes, and Technology is about creating a collection of engineered and tested tools for the mankind.
