Using Robotics to Teach the Scientific Method
We present a series of lab exercises that teach non-science majors effective use of the scientific method. We have employed a robotics theme for these exercises, as robotics problems provide a compelling framework for the use of the scientific method in problemsolving. We identify four types of scientific experiments that are useful in this regard, and demonstrate how these types of experiments...

متن کاملWhy I teach the controversy: using creationism to teach critical thinking
Creationism and intelligent design are terms used to describe supernatural explanations for the origin of life, and the diversity of species on this planet. Many scientists have argued that the science classroom is no place for discussion of creationism. When I began teaching I did not teach creationism, as I focused instead on my areas of expertise. Over time it became clear that students had ...
