Science is a way to teach how something gets to be known, what is not known, to what extent things are known (for nothing is known absolutely), how to handle doubt and uncertainty, what the rules of evidence are, how to think about things so that judgments can be made, how to distinguish truth from fraud, and from show.

Questions of the week: Extra Work
CONTENT KNOWLEDGE OBJECTIVES
Initial Understanding:
- Discuss the ways in which bones meet to form different types of joints, allowing for movement.
- Demonstrate locomotion methods in organisms without skeletons.
Developing an Interpretation:
- Compare and contrast the endoskeleton and exoskeleton, identifying the advantages and disadvantages of each.
Making Connections:
- Make connections between the skeletal and muscular systems in the human and their interaction to create locomotion.
Taking a Critical Stance:
- Distinguish among the three types of vertebrate muscle and their specific roles.
