14 |
Cite examples of scientific advances and emerging technologies and how they affect society (e.g., MRI, DNA in forensics) (SI-H-B3) |
|
|
16 |
Use the following rules of evidence to examine experimental results:
(a) Can an expert’s technique or theory be tested, has it been tested, or is it simply a subjective, conclusive approach that cannot be reasonably assessed for reliability?
(b) Has the technique or theory been subjected to peer review and publication?
(c) What is the known or potential rate of error of the technique or theory when applied?
(d) Were standards and controls applied and maintained?
(e) Has the technique or theory been generally accepted in the scientific community? (SI-H-B5) (SI-H-B1) (SI-H-B4 |
