Critical Thinking and Scientific Method

      You may browse by scrolling down or go directly to a category by clicking on it.
I have come to the conclusion that as educators, we should teach the three C's of science:  Curiosity, Creativity, and Critical thinking and doing. These three things fuel that human endeavor we call science and this greatly benefits humanity.
