Science and Inquiry discussion

"Science, my lad, is made up of mistakes, but they are mistakes which it is useful to make, because they lead little by little to the truth."

---Jules Verne, novelist and poet

What if, however, we do not learn from these mistakes? What if we are unable to distinguish these mistakes from valid science?

I am proud to introduce the creation of my new website Pseudoscience Prevention, a website that will address all of these questions!

UPDATE: Three months ago, I announced the release of Pseudoscience Prevention, a website and initiative intended to inform the public about a handful of historical and contemporary pseudosciences, as well as provide students, educators, and science enthusiasts with strategies to fact-check their own beliefs for pseudoscientific influence. In other words, it was a website that mainly served for informational purposes regarding pseudosciences. However, what if there is a way to prompt students and enthusiasts to actually apply, recall, and reflect upon what they have learned about the different pseudosciences described in this website? What if there is a more tangible way to help students not only learn about fact-checking but actually fact-check their own beliefs? This is where Pseudoscience Prevention's worksheets come in!

Thanks, I’ll check this out! I’m a science teacher :)

I’ve taken a quick look around the site and it’s really interesting. I’m mostly interested in physics. When I can, I’ll deep it. Thanks! :)
