It's fairly common to have learned a simplified and linear version of the process of science:

Observation--> Hypothesis --> Experimentation ---> Results ----> Conclusion

But in reality science isn't this linear , but is rather an iterative ( repeating) process. In this lecture I will go science flow chart .jpg over this process that is represented by the drawing. Our three special projects will each explore one of these aspects of the process.

Microgreens Project : emphasizes testing ideas
Field Journal : emphasizing exploration and discovery
Scientific Claims Assessment: emphasizes community feedback and benefits and outcomes

Here is a video lecture on How Science Works

On the next page, you will watch a video with questions embedded that will require you to apply what you learned to a specific example of the process fo science.
