			Material Covered	Home Work	Supplements
M	/01	/07	New Policies Hypothesis, Theory and Law – Part 1	Readings on Theories and Laws Note: these readings contradict each other and some of them are wrong. Also the “hypothesis -> theory -> law” model of science is completely wrong. Your job is to figure out what’s right and what’s wrong. Start by comparing what each reading says to the examples of theories we saw in class – see which definition fits the best.
T	/01	/08	Hypothesis, Theory and Law – Part 2	HW: Look through the reading packet and identify which parts match the notes and which parts don’t. Come up with and draw three hypotheses about what is inside the mystery tube.
