Using the Scientific Method to Study Optical Orientation in Blowfly Larvae
Tested Studies in Laboratory Teaching, 1997, Volume 18
Abstract
This introductory lab in beginning biology courses for majors or nonmajors illustrates scientific investigation more realistically than do many textbook treatments of the "scientific method" and many "exercise" type labs. It helps students appreciate that scientific investigation not only involves reasoned conclusions based upon relevant and valid evidence, but also that it is iterative, cooperative, and tentative.
