9780534211264: Beginner’s Guide to Scientific Method

Synopsis

This is a concise, introductory book that provides an introduction to the sciences and scientific method. It is comprehensive, readable, non-technical, and challenging in its ideas. A BEGINNERS GUIDE TO SCIENTIFIC METHOD requires students to use the scientific method to design experiments and assess their own results. The book is brief enough to be used as a supplementary text in a first course in any of the sciences, though comprehensive enough to be used as the primary text in a course in scientific reasoning.
