Defining Science

Learning to think critically about science is a difficult skill many students need help with. This book was designed to help those students understand the scientific process and how scientists use the process with critical thinking skills. The book was designed from the very beginning to include multimedia content to decrease the cognitive load for the reader. The 16 videos included in the book will help readers understand abstract concepts by working through multiple examples. A few examples of this multimedia content are: the scientific method, hypotheses, variables, testing, theories, scientific laws, peer review, pseudoscience, science is not predetermined, and how to think critically. Whether you are preparing for the next generation science standards, or you just want students to learn how science is done in the real world we think this book will work to meet those needs.
