Inductive Thinking, the value of lay field work Science is generally deductive, building on assumptions and hypotheses. We, in the field, can look and question. And notice the unexpected.

Thank You Dr. Barrett Rock Mike Gagnon Forest Watch Forest Watch Teachers who are awfully patient. This 7-hour program is now over!!!!!!!
