Death of the Dinosaurs
This main unit in the Ideas and Evidence pack from the Pupil Researcher Initiative is about how scientists do not always agree. Scientific arguments or controversies can last many years. This is because scientists sometimes explain the facts in different ways. Some scientists may support one theory, and some another. A good example is the debate over the extinction of the dinosaurs.
Contents
