In this article from the Journal of College Science Teaching the author addresses inquiry based Science, critical thinking, and use of mathematics in methods of teaching Science. The approach described sets a course midway between Science as dry memorization of fact and Science as a game played with toys. This article is relevant to Science teachers at all academic levels.

This is a well-written article discussing an integrated science and math course for nonmajors. The authors mentioned statistical analysis but did not provide any figures or tables to present the data. While the book suggested in "Reinforcing the nature of science " is now dated, I appreciate the suggestion of using Fermi questions. However, because this article is now 12 years old, the URL listed to the resource is redirected to a general page by mathforum.org. In looking for this resource, I found a lesson plan aimed at Grades 5 - 12 (http://www.mathcircles.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/Fermi_Estimates_Lesson_Plan_0-1.pdf)
