katilac Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 I'm looking for a good text or program designed to teach underlying scientific skills (science skills?). There are bits and pieces in the various subject texts, but I'd really like something that focusses on these skills in a more systematic way, with explanation and practice. Critical thinking, reasoning, data analysis, reading graphs, any skill that is transferable to following science courses. Anything out there? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
