DESCRIPTION
With apologies to Imre Lakatos, several noteworthy data sets will be considered for how they can support a student’s understanding of model building (conjectures). As time permits, attention will be given to these data sets, and perhaps others:• Edwin Hubble’s data on galaxy velocity and distance• Robert Boyle’s data on the pressure and volume of an ideal gas• Galileo Galilei’s data on free fall• Pavel Yakovlev’s and Walter Guessford’s data connecting politics and alcohol consumption
