167-168 Characteristics of Scientific Knowledge (Pseudoscience)

I use the Bill Nye Video (Pseudoscience) to open a discussion of the differences between Scientific and Nonscientific thinking.

Some possible discussion questions:

1. List some examples of pseudoscience from the video.
2. Why do Scientists repeat experiments?
3. Explain the term: empirical evidence.
4. Why (and how) do hypotheses change?
5. Explain the difference between Science and Pseudoscience.

Next up: Exams and the final days....
