Teaching the Scientific Method in Introductory Astronomy
Abstract
An important goal for many instructors of introductory astronomy courses for nonscience majors is exposing students to the methods and process of science. This article describes a method for using the concepts of astronomy to demonstrate the scientific process at the beginning of an introductory astronomy course so that students will be able to use the process throughout the rest of the course.
