More Than One Way, Scientific Investigations

Students will compare and contrast two short articles to learn that scientific investigations are not always controlled experiments and that the traditional scientific method is not always appropriate or most effective for understanding the natural world. Later in the lesson, students will choose their own article and reflect on the scientific methods used in that scientific investigation.
