Read the question. Build the argument.

Six modules on thinking and writing like a scientist: what each command word wants, linking ideas with because and so, using data as evidence, comparing and judging, spotting weak reasoning and planning fair tests. Each one starts with a worked example, then you practise, then build the skill on harder questions, then check it.
