Evolution/Natural Selection

• Creation/Evolution Controversy
  This website lays out the foundation for evolutionists and creationists alike, presenting the ideas behind and the evidence for biological evolution.

Scientific Method

• Scientific Method
  A better approach is to do experiments and perform careful observations. The results of this approach are universal in the sense that they can be reproduced by any skeptic. It is from these ideas that the scientific method was developed. Most of science is based on this procedure for studying Nature.
• Experimental Science Projects
  This intermediate level guide contains information from Experimental Science Projects: An Introductory Level Guide. Additional material has been added to help distinguish between different types of scientific studies. More details are also given about the experimental scientific method, and the steps involved.
