Steps of the Scientific Method | Printable Student Science Journals
Teaching students to use the many steps of the scientific
method will help in all areas of school work. The scientific method or inquiry process
is the future of common core and the multi level task that students will be assessed
on. STEM needs to be taught as a integrated model starting at kindergarten to
help students build problem solving and academic resiliency.
The search for scientific knowledge extends far back into antiquity. At
some point in the past, at least by the time of Aristotle, philosophers
recognized that a fundamental distinction should be drawn between two
kinds of scientific knowledge — roughly, knowledge that and knowledge why. It is one thing to know that
each planet periodically reverses the direction of its motion with
respect to the background of fixed stars; it is quite a different matter
to know why. Knowledge of the former type is descriptive;
knowledge of the latter type is explanatory. It is explanatory knowledge
that provides scientific understanding of the world. (Salmon, 1990)
