9-26. Use historical examples to explain how new ideasare limited by the context in which they are conceived;are often initially rejected by the scientific establishment;sometimes spring from unexpected findings; and usuallygrow slowly through contributions from many differentinvestigators (e.g., atomic theory, quantum theory andNewtonian mechanics).9-2. Illustrate that the methodsand procedures used to obtainevidence must be clearly reportedto enhance opportunities forfurther investigations.9-27. Describe advances and issues in physical sciencethat have important, long-lasting effects on science andsociety (e.g., atomic theory, quantum theory, Newtonianmechanics, nuclear energy, nanotechnology, plastics,ceramics and communication technology).9-3. Demonstrate that reliablescientific evidence improves theability of scientists to offeraccurate predictions.9-4. Explain how support of ethical practices in science (e.g.,individual observations andconfirmations, accurate reporting,peer review and publication) arerequired to reduce bias.9-5. Justify that scientific theoriesare explanations of large bodiesof information and/orobservations that withstandrepeated testing.9-6. Explain that inquiry fuelsobservation and experimentationthat produce data that are thefoundation of scientific disciplines.Theories are explanations of these data.
