ESSAY QUESTION DUE FRIDAY:
Just in case you misplace it gang, here's your essay question:
I. Write an essay about the Scientific Method as it was used in the movie Never Cry Wolf.
a. Describe a time in the movie when the scientific method was used. What was going on in the movie? What was Tyler’ question that he needed to find an answer for?
b. Did Tyler have an official “control group” and “variable group” in his scientific experiment? If not, do you think his experimental outcome was still legitimate?
II. Did you like the ending to the movie? Why or why not?
As we discussed: 2 substantial paragraphs (so an estimated one handwritten page).
Sci Method continues tomorrow!
