In
this
lesson,
students
are
exposed
to
a
compelling
idea:
the
Earth
really
IS
flat!
They
are
challenged
to
provide
evidence
for
a
spherical
earth,
then
present
evidence
(experiences)
for
a
flat
Earth,
discuss
the
relative
strengths
of
the
evidence,
and
reach
conclusions.
They
look
at
the
nature
of
science
and
pseudoscience
and
examine
the
flat
Earth
idea
in
that
context.

social
context
of

This lesson is a vehicle to address natural illusions and how science can effectively reveal them. The hooey stick is a piece of notched wooden dowling, with a smaller dowling propellor at one end. When it is rubbed with a small stick, the propellor rotates. On the command of hooey, the propellor stops and reverses direction, magically.

This lesson explores the realm and limits of science. It engages students to give examples of topics that can be studied by science and those that cannot. It also takes a look at descriptive terms which reflect the true nature of modern science and those which do not, especially those which do not fit the popular perceptions of science.
