This was a great activity to reinforce our discussion about "what is science?". Students were engaged and discussing the proper placement as our discussion progressed through the class period.

This was a great activity to start the semester off! We first were introduced to science vs. pseudoscience and a definition of each; how they are similar and different. Then, we used this sorting activity to apply real-life examples - great resource! Thank you!
