E. Metaphors of science
§There
are two metaphors for science
§1. Science is like a game of 20 Questions
§I have
something in this bag: Try to guess what it is by asking me only yes or no
questions.
§Is this a good metaphor of science?
§It looks like science because
you formulate ideas or
hypotheses, test them out by asking questions, and then revise them when you
get an answer.
§This is just like the
“scientific method” you learned about since elementary school.
