Extrasensory Perception--Pseudoscience? A Battle at the Edge of Science
Stonefoot, Sarah G.; Herreid, Clyde Freeman
Journal of College Science Teaching, v34 n2 p30-34 Oct 2004
This case teaches students to be skeptical of "scientific claims," especially those that are sensational and fall outside the boundaries of normal scientific explanation. Students read the case scenario and then evaluate data to determine whether they believe there is enough scientific evidence to confirm the existence of extrasensory perception. (Contains 1 figure.)
