New “JREF in The Classroom” Lessons!
The James Randi Educational Foundation is pleased to announce the release of four new additions to our JREF in the Classroom offerings:
- Pareidolia: Do You See What You Think You See?
- Illusions: Our Visual System
- Cognition: Are You Rational?
- Power Balance: Sports Enhancement, or Placebo?
These are downloadable lesson plans for use in high school and junior high school science and psychology classes that use topics in pseudoscience and the paranormal to teach critical thinking, skepticism, and scientific inquiry. Each lesson is designed to expose students to concepts identified in the National Science Content Standards and AAAS science literacy benchmarks.
