Think critically and logically to make the relationships between evidence
and explanations. Thinking critically about evidence includes deciding
what evidence should be used and accounting for anomalous data. Specifically,
students should be able to review data from a simple experiment, summarize
the data, and form a logical argument about the cause-effect relationships
in the experiment. Students should begin to state some explanations in
terms of the relationship between two or more variables.

Formulate and revise scientific explanations and models using logic
and evidence. Student inquiries should culminate in formulating an explanation
or model. Models should be physical, conceptual, and mathematical. In the

discussions should be based on scientific knowledge, the use of logic,
and evidence from their investigation.
