ways of knowing, such as art,
philosophy, and religion.

pseudoscience (such as astrology,
phrenology) in society.
***SC.912.N.2.5 Describe instances in
which scientists’ varied background,
talents, interests, and goals influence
and the inferences and thus the
explanations that they make about
observations of natural phenomena and
describe that competing interpretations
of scientists are a strength of science as
they are a source of new, testable ideas,
that have the potential to add new
evidence to support one or another of
the explanations.
SC.912.N 3.1 Explain that a scientific
theory is the culmination of many
scientific investigations drawing
together all the current evidence
concerning a substantial range of
phenomena; thus, a scientific theory
represents the most powerful
explanation scientists have to offer.

consensus plays in the historical
development of a theory in any one of

laws are descriptions of specific
relationships under given conditions in
nature, but do not offer explanations for
those relationships

do not become laws, nor do laws
become theories; theories are well

well supported descriptions.
