10 Processes of <strong>Science</strong> - integrated<br />
Life <strong>Science</strong>: Sustainability of Ecosystems<br />
What is the relationship between the living and<br />
non-living elements in an ecosystem<br />
What are the relationships amongst the living<br />
elements in an ecosystem<br />
How are ecosystems maintained and<br />
changed<br />
What roles and responsibilities do humans<br />
have with regard to ecosystems as stewards<br />
of God’s creation<br />
Physical <strong>Science</strong>: Chemical Reactions and<br />
Radioactivity<br />
How is our understanding of matter shaped by<br />
our experiences, experiments, and<br />
discoveries<br />
How can our scientific knowledge be a fact, a<br />
theory or something else<br />
What are the limitations of scientific models<br />
What is it about atoms that make them the<br />
“simplest unit” of matter<br />
What is the nature of matter and how does it<br />
react and interact<br />
How do we communicate our scientific<br />
information<br />
How does society misuse its scientific<br />
knowledge What are scientific “ethics”<br />
Physical <strong>Science</strong>: Motion<br />
What are the “laws” that govern movement<br />
How do we communicate our scientific<br />
information about motion<br />
How can the relationship between a time<br />
interval and distance be demonstrated<br />
Is there anything not in motion<br />
Earth and Space <strong>Science</strong>: Energy Transfer in<br />
Natural Systems<br />
How is the transfer of energy a key component<br />
of sustaining Earth and its inhabitants<br />
What is the relationship between energy<br />
transfer and weather systems, ocean currents,<br />
natural phenomena<br />
How does mankind “play God” with the natural<br />
systems in place<br />
What roles and responsibilities do humans<br />
have with regards to ecosystems as stewards<br />
of God’s creation<br />
