DIGITAL DOWNLOAD: you receive a printable US Letter PDF to print at home or school. No physical book is shipped.

Seven short sections pack real scientific thinking into this short booklet, starting with what the scientific method actually is and what counts as a variable. The text asks students to judge whether equipment and recorded data can really be trusted, before switching to two true stories: Charles Drew's work on blood storage, and Jane Goodall's patient study of wild chimpanzees. Both case studies turn an abstract method into something students can picture happening to real people. A free video from Brenda Hayles links from every section. Color photos supporting both case studies pair with fair test diagrams throughout, and the back page defines variable and reliable. NGSS code 5-ETS1-3 is covered.

Inside:

• Seven sections, from variables to two real case studies
• A linked video for every section
• Color case study photos beside fair test diagrams
• A glossary covering variable and reliable
