Thankfully, TFA is a bit better:

Thankfully, TFA is a bit better:

Often, the first model wouldn't work very well, so the group would argue about how to strengthen it. Some would offer up new data they'd collected, and suggest tweaks to the model. "They'd be sitting around arguing about what model was the best, which was most predictive," Steinkuehler recalls.
That's when it hit her: The kids were practicing science.

While I have the highest respect for my esteemed colleagues in Madison, I find myself disagreeing with Steinkuehler's conclusions. These kids are not practicing science, they're practicing being human beings. And as human beings, we find new and inventive ways to meet a challenge whenever one is presented to us.

All one needs to do is look back through history. Aliens didn't build the pyramids; humans did. Humans who were given the seemingly impossible task rose to the challenge and made it happen. The Flavian Amphitheatre (aka the Coliseum) didn't just appear when someone pulled the plug on a drain and the water swirled around. Humans wanted a better place to host their blood sport. So they devised a new method. Trains didn't start moving themselves. Humans had a problem of not enough labor. So they devised a solution.

Which isn't to say that these many engineering feats were devoid of what we today think of as "science". However, it is important to remember that the scientific process (i.e. the thing that separates "science" from simply "effort") is a formalized process that vets the actual facts from the statistical noise. If you are not following the formalized methodology, you are not performing "science".

Which isn't to say that I don't think these kids deserve mad props. They used their brains and were rewarded for it. Which is something to be proud of in a comfortable modern society that makes it all too easy to turn one's brain to the "off" position. :-)

The old days Scientific Method of objecttively searching for truth is more or less obsolete.

What old days? When scientists were beholden to Lords and Kings? People who could not only cut off funding with the wave of their hands but people would could have you tried and executed for discovering the "wrong" things?

Or do you mean before that in the ancient world, where great thinkers who spoke out were put to death? Trial of Socrates ring any bells?

You are experiencing whats called idealization of the fictional past. Things are most likely better now (post-enlightenment post-democracy post-civil rights) than ever. I mean, the kids of non-nobles going to university and teaching and publishing disagreeable things?? Scandalous!!

"Earth Hour" this activity takes the lead in 2007 to start in Australia, when there are around 2.2 million homes and businesses in Sydney lights for one hour. However, only a year later, "Earth Hour" has become a global and sustainable development activity, more than 35 countries as many as five million people involved. Cities all over the world landmark building, such as San Francisco's Golden Gate Bridge, the Roman Coliseum and Times Square billboards on all Coca-Cola stands for this purpose in the darkness, all urban residents have also been voiced by the environmental protection cause of the delay I hope the enthusiasm.

By then, around the globe from Europe to the Americas landmark building will be standing in the darkness.

Let us act now! March 28, 2009 Evening 8:30-9:30, lights are turned off one hour, with China making history.

More than 64 countries and regions have already participated in the 2009 "Earth Hour" activities. With more and more and more people realize that a small act can eventually have an enormous impact on the results, the number of participants is increasing.

"Earth Hour" a symbol of hopes, but also represents the action. Everyone can make everything from change.
