Nora and Cora Narwhal Prove Whales Can Fly
Designing Experiments
Bring your imagination to life through “cause and effect”
Humans love improvement, so we make a lot of claims about ‘new’ and ‘better’ ways of doing things. But statisticians and scientists all know that there is a big difference between believing a claim and proving it. They view experiments as the ‘gold standard’ when evaluating whether a causal claim is true. Learn about experiments with Nora and Cora as they try to defy gravity and prove that it IS possible for a narwhal to fly.
Studies show that children’s understanding of cause and effect is a critical part of development, and that understanding experiments can lead to greater critical thinking abilities including an implicit awareness of statistics and causality (Institute of Medicine and National Research Council, 2015).
