Use data to construct a reasonable explanation. This aspect of the
standard emphasizes the students' thinking as they use data to formulate
explanations. Even at the earliest grade levels, students should learn
what constitutes evidence and judge the merits or strength of the data
and information that will be used to make explanations. After students
propose an explanation, they will appeal to the knowledge and evidence
they obtained to support their explanations. Students should check their
explanations against scientific knowledge, experiences, and observations
of others.
