Hi. Have you browsed courses on Edx? – maybe they'd have something relevant.
Best,

Subject: Looking for
Hi All,
I’m hoping that someone has a lead on OER content for an introductory survey course in
science (SCIE 2240: Science Past, Present, and Future). The outcomes are broad and
include:
* Describe the steps in the scientific method
* Describe a series of experiments from the history of science that illustrate the
elements of scientific method.
* Define accuracy, precision, systematic error, and random error as they apply to
measurements.
* Employ appropriate units for physical measurements.
* Define a hypothesis test and identify its components.
* Make a conclusion from a formal hypothesis test based on sample data.
* Create a written group report on a modern scientific result and the consequences
to the prevailing scientific theory or model.
* Discuss current trends in science.
(This is not an exhaustive list)
I have checked OpenStax, Open Textbook Library, OER Commons, BCcampus, Cool4Ed.org, OASIS,
and Mason OER Metafinder. I have found a chapter here or there which might be re-written
to fit these outcomes. However, I would love to find 2-3 books (possible topics: history
of science, scientific method and research techniques, and current/future trends in
science) that would cover these topics more comprehensively.
I certainly do not expect to find all of this in one place. Any leads would be
appreciated!
Cheers,
Jessica
