Have a go at this – pause at 1:30 and get chatting before moving on! Another great video by Derek Muller (@veritasium), and will be useful in discussions of the scientific method, hypothesis testing and the nature of science.

I loved this, Stephen. Just used it now with my G12 class, as they tried to work out genotypes from a pedigree chart. They had been finding examples of inheritance to confirm rules they had already established rather than seeking to disprove them, thereby being certain that they were right… when they were actually wrong!

That’s a great example of when to use it in Biology, thanks for sharing!
