(1) Demonstrate understanding of scientific theories. Focus on a specific scientific theory you were taught-what assignment or experience was most useful in helping you understand it?
(2) Formulate and test hypotheses by performing laboratory, simulation, or field experiments. Which laboratory or simulation experience did you find to be the most interesting and enlightening?
(3) Communicate their experimental findings, analyses, and interpretations both orally and in writing. How did you communicate the results of the experiments you conducted in class?
(4) Evaluate societal issues from a natural science perspective, ask questions about the evidence presented, and make informed judgments about science-related topics and policies. Identify a controversial topic which was addressed in a science class (or related event) and explain how scientific evidence helped you understand and evaluate that issue
