November 14: Review, science controversy and pushing forward.

Today we reviewed somethings from last week and then I introduced a science controversy on the board.  We talked about this cartoon in class, which led to a wonderful conversation about the link between vaccinations and autism.  These conversations about scientific controversy are excellent for making connections between what science is and what scientists do and how the general public reacts to research.  Excellent day!  Second period has homework in the form of a guided reading over section 2.1 in the text.
