Cheat

Comments (0)

The Science upd8 activity introduces the concept of validity in the design of scientific experiments. Based on the card game 'Cheat', the scenario is a scientific conference where scientists are learning about, and criticising, each others' work. Students have a series of cards which contain different claims and they must challenge claims that appear spurious.

In the activity, students have to decide what is 'good enough' evidence to support a claim, measuring the quality of the evidence
