Students will investigate the natural and physical world through testable questions, models, hypotheses or discoveries and evaluate different lines of evidence including observations and measurements. Students will apply natural and physical science techniques and use results and conclusions to explain and appreciate the natural and physical phenomena that impact our lives, our community and the world in which we live. This section will explore how to use simulations to find, explore, define, and respond to the root causes of change wherever they are encountered. We will use that knowledge to study whether or not our reality is itself a simulation.
