Animations: This Thing Called Science

Animations: This Thing Called Science | Eclectic Technology | Scoop.it
We're thrilled to launch our next series of animations: This Thing Called Science. This series follows on from Critical Thinking, showing the way we think scientifically by considering skepticism, ...
Beth Dichter's insight:

This is a fabulous series that explore science. Six animated videos are available that show "the way we think scientifically by considering skepticism, testing, blinding, uncertainty  ethics and citizen science." By title they are:

* This Thing Called Science Part 1: Call me skeptical

* This Thing Called Science Part 2: Testing, testing, 1, 2, 3

* This Thing Called Science Part 3: Blinded by Science

* This Thing Called Science Part 4: Confidently Uncertain

* This Thing Called Science Part 5: Do the Right Thing

* This Thing Called Science Part 6: Citizen Science

These videos were created by Bridge8, who also put out a great series of videos on Critical Thinking. You can find that series at http://bridge8.wordpress.com/2012/01/30/critical-thinking-animations/

There are also 2 guides available for the Critical Thinking series, a postcard size one and an extended one. I found these on YouTube when I accessed the video Critical Thinking Part 1: A Valuable Argument uploaded by techNyouvids.

Learn more about Science by first understanding the Scientific Process. These videos above make it much more easier to understand the topic.

Six Vintage-Inspired Animations on Critical Thinking

Six Vintage-Inspired Animations on Critical Thinking | Eclectic Technology | Scoop.it

A field guide to the art and science of the solid argument...six fantastic two-minute animations on various aspects of critical thinking, aimed at school ages 8 to 10, or kids between the ages of 13 and 15, but also designed to resonate with grown-ups. Inspired by the animation style of the 1950s, most recognizably Saul Bass, the films are designed to promote a set of educational resources on critical thinking...
