Welcome to Module 3 on the Scientific Method!

What is the Scientific Method? Together, we will explore the steps and cycles of scientific inquiry! We will read and analyze an article to think critically about the process of science and its complexities. This unit is a great time to practice time management. Be sure to look over all assignments listed on Moodle for Module 3 and design a time management plan that works for you and your schedule to complete all assignments in the next two weeks. Consider using our template to-do list to help you design a workflow that fits your schedule. 

Upon successful completion of this module, you will be able to:

• MO 3.1. List the steps and interconnections in the scientific method. (CO 6)
• MO 3.2. Compare and contrast the depictions of the scientific method. (CO 6)
• MO 3.3. Create a simplified hypothesis and an experiment to test it. (CO 6)
