The Science upd8 activity introduces the concept of validity in
the design of scientific experiments. Based on the card game
'Cheat', the scenario is a scientific conference where
scientists are learning about, and criticising, each others'
work. Students have a series of cards which contain different
claims and they must challenge claims that appear spurious. In
the activity, students have to decide what is 'good enough'
evidence to support a claim, measuring the quality of the
evidence HEALTH and SAFETY Any use of a resource that includes a
practical activity must include a risk assessment. Please note
that collections may contain ARCHIVE resources, which were
developed at a much earlier date. Since that time there have
been significant changes in the rules and guidance affecting
laboratory practical work. Further information is provided in
our Health and Safety guidance.
