Science as Inquiry: Understanding about scientific inquiry
Grades 5-8, page 148
Science advances through legitimate skepticism. Asking questions and
querying other scientists' explanations is part of scientific inquiry.
Scientists evaluate the explanations proposed by other scientists by examining
evidence, comparing evidence, identifying faulty reasoning, pointing out
statements that go beyond the evidence, and suggesting alternative explanations
for the same observations.

Science as Inquiry: Understanding about scientific inquiry
Grades 9-12, page 175
Results of scientific inquiry--new knowledge and methods--emerge from
different types of investigations and public communication among scientists.
In communicating and defending the results of scientific inquiry, arguments
must be logical and demonstrate connections between natural phenomena,
investigations, and the historical body of scientific knowledge. In addition,
the methods and procedures that scientists used to obtain evidence must
be clearly reported to enhance opportunities for further investigation.
