So I made it to school today but ended up heading home before the end of second hour because of a migraine. Your assignment today is to read sections 1 and 2 from chapter 2 and complete the first page of the 2 page assignment.  You don't need to take a textbook home if you have internet access- just click HERE and it will direct you to the online text.

See you tomorrow.

Friday, 30 August 2013

We have made it to another FRIDAY!!!

Here is our daily plan:
1) You are going to watch the video below on Publication Bias. It is given by Dr. Ben Goldacre at a TED convention a few years ago.  The information is still pertinent to what we are discussing in class.  Be sure to answer the following questions as you listen to him speak.
     1. What does "bias" mean?
     2. Why don't we always hear about negative results from scientific research?
     3. Why should ALL results (both positive and negative) be published?


2) After our discussion on bias, we are going to start breaking down the article that you read yesterday in class on misused science words.  Make sure that you have all of your work complete, I may be collecting this--> it is going to be completely dependent upon the ability of the class to answer and discuss the questions.
