John Oliver
In this video, John Oliver explains why it's important to be a skeptic, and why you need to understand experimental design. 

What is Validity?

After reviewing the validity flow chart, let's define the terms associated with errors.

Have one member of your table group create a Google Slides presentation and share it with your table-mates and me. I will assign you a term, and you will make a slide giving the definition, characteristics, examples, and non-examples of your assigned term (Accuracy, Precision, Measurement Errors, or Protocol Errors). Bonus points for good visuals!

Table Talk - Practice

With your group, respond to the questions on these slides.
