Hi! So my students have chosen "Is science's power overwhelming?" as their next unit focus. I found the passage from "Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance" which describes the scientific method as an invincible juggernaut, which certainly fits the theme of the unit. It explains deductive and inductive reasoning. I think there will eventually be a good connection to the "inference" reading strategy from "Mosaic of Thought."
All of which is to prepare my question to you! What I'm wondering is, do any of you have any cool activities that help students learn about and/or practice deductive and inductive reasoning? I'm thinking some sort of mystery activity, but I'm wondering what ideas you all have. Thanks!
