Understanding Science
UC Berkeley's guide to how science actually works, correcting the tidy textbook version of the scientific method. Explains where testable ideas come from, how hypotheses are checked against evidence, and how community review shapes what gets accepted.

Scientific Method in Practice
Gauch surveys the presuppositions, logic, and statistical reasoning shared across the sciences, covering deduction, induction, parsimony, and hypothesis testing. After it you can state what a scientific claim rests on and judge when evidence genuinely supports a conclusion.
