Many people question whether Pseudo-science should even contain the word "science" as Pseudo-science isn't really even an imitation of science; it pretty much disregards the scientific method all together. Also known as alternative or fringe-science, Pseudo-science relies on invalid arguments called sophisms, a word Webster dictionary defines as "an argument apparent

Physics is the most basic of the sciences, concerning itself with energy, matter, space and time, and their interactions. Scientific laws and theories express the general truths of nature and the body of knowledge they encompass. These laws of nature are rules that all natural processes appear to follow.

For example, ask, “What do you think will happen if we add food coloring to the water?” Guide students to form simple hypotheses like, “The water will turn blue.” Objective: Students will understand the concept of density and apply the scientific method to predict and test which objects will float or sink in water.

It emphasizes that ongoing verification is crucial for scientific validity, and advances in technology contribute to new discoveries. The module specifically focuses on early pioneers like Copernicus, Brahe, Kepler, and Galileo, who transformed modern astronomy.
