Scientific paper

Why are big science ideas like the big-bang theory accepted as true? Science demands that evidence be used to support its claims; however, as we sometimes seek to cram more and more content into our courses, we often forget that teaching scientific habits of mind is as important as teaching the subject. In this column, I describe an effective teaching technique that uses news media stories to help students see the importance of evidence.
