The process of science rests on information and descriptions about the natural world, collected by observation. Findings that are repeatedly confirmed across a range of situations yield insights that can lead to explanatory models, also called theories. Scientific methods emphasize the practice of testing hypotheses (i.e. theories, explanatory models) by comparing their predictions to observations of the natural world. The standards are focused on ensuring that students are ready to explore and appreciate the richness and complexity of the natural world, to grapple with new ideas and divergent interpretations, and to master the powerful techniques of collecting, organizing, and analyzing information.

Improvement in the language arts requires students to read and write frequently in all disciplines and to receive ample feedback. English is mastered in the context of challenging content that requires students to think deeply and to exercise discipline in order to demonstrate understanding, raise questions, and present ideas. Because language is employed in a wide range of situations, skillful users of language must know how to interpret and express themselves in a variety of forms and formats.

Mathematical reasoning is key to solving problems, formulating logical arguments, understanding quantitative features of various disciplines, critically analyzing media sources, and searching for patterns. Through mathematics, people become more able to make well-informed decisions by formulating conjectures and testing hypotheses. These key cognitive skills elevate mathematics from an exercise in rote memorization to a process of analysis and interpretation that enables the learner to work with a range of complex questions, topics, and issues.
