130.12. Advanced Environmental Technology (One Credit).
(a) General requirements. This course is recommended for
students in Grades 11-12. Recommended prerequisite: a minimum of
one credit from the courses in the Agriculture, Food, and Natural Re-
sources cluster. To receive credit in science, students must meet the
40% laboratory and fieldwork requirement identified in 74.3(b)(2)(C)
of this title (relating to Description of a Required Secondary Curricu-
lum.

dust.y expectations- To prepare for success, st uents need opportuni-
tics to learn reinferee apply and transfer their knowledge and skills
and technologies in a variety of settings- This course examines the in-
terrelatedness of environmental issues and production agriculture, tu-

the application of science and technology to measure environmental
impacts resulting from production agriculture through field and labo-
ratory expeencces.]
(1) Advanced Environmental Technology. To be prepared
for careers in environmental service systems, students need to attain
academic skills and knowledge, acquire advanced technical knowledge
and skills related to environmental service systems and the workplace,
and develop knowledge and skills regarding career opportunities, en-
try requirements, and industry expectations. To prepare for success,
students need opportunities to learn, reinforce, apply, and transfer their
knowledge and skills and technologies in a variety of settings. This
course examines the interrelatedness of environmental issues and pro-
duction agriculture. Students evaluate sustainable resources and green
technologies which will provide environmental benefits. Instruction
is designed to allow for the application of science and technology to
measure environmental impacts resulting from production agriculture
through field and laboratory experiences.
(2) Nature of science. Science, as defined by the National
Academy of Sciences, is the "use of evidence to construct testable ex-
planations and predictions of natural phenomena, as well as the knowl-
edge generated through this process." This vast body of changing and
increasing knowledge is described by physical, mathematical, and con-
ceptual models. Students should know that some questions are outside
the realm of science because they deal with phenomena that are not
scientifically testable.
(3) Scientific inquiry. Scientific inquiry is the planned and
deliberate investigation of the natural world. Scientific methods of in-
vestigation are experimental, descriptive, or comparative. The method
chosen should be appropriate to the question being asked.
(4) Science and social ethics. Scientific decision making is
a way of answering questions about the natural world. Students should
be able to distinguish between scientific decision-making methods (sci-
entific methods) and ethical and social decisions that involve science
(the application of scientific information).
(5) Science, systems, and models. A system is a collec-
tion of cycles, structures, and processes that interact. All systems have
basic properties that can be described in space, time, energy, and mat-
ter. Change and constancy occur in systems as patterns and can be
observed, measured, and modeled. These patterns help to make pre-
dictions that can be scientifically tested. Students should analyze a
system in terms of its components and how these components relate
to each other, to the whole, and to the external environment.
(c) Knowledge and skills.
(1) The student, for at least 40% of instructional time, con-
ducts laboratory and field investigations using safe, environmentally
appropriate, and ethical practices. The student is expected to:
(A) demonstrate safe practices during laboratory and
field investigations; and
(B) demonstrate an understanding of the use and con-
servation of resources and the proper disposal or recycling of materials.
(2) The student uses scientific methods and equipment dur-
ing laboratory and field investigations. The student is expected to:
(A) know the definition of science and understand that
it has limitations, as specified in subsection (b)(2) of this section;
(B) know that hypotheses are tentative and testable
statements that must be capable of being supported or not supported
by observational evidence. Hypotheses of durable explanatory powerPROPOSED RULES May 24, 2013 38 TexReg 3261
