Description
This module uses data to show why taking care of the environment is important in a way that even the most anthropocentric student can identify with (not wanting to have their health harmed by pollutants). It also introduces hypothesis testing and p-values at a very low-level, so that students who haven't taken a statistics class can complete some basic interpretation. As the term "significant" is often misused in everyday life when referring to data, this arms the student with knowledge of what that term actually entails in science.
