During this lesson we talked a bit about how science headlines can be misleading, and how in some cases they don't accurately represent the research that was conducted.

you will examine a science headline yourself and identify how and why it might be misleading.

Pick one of the headlines. Think about the impression the headline creates when taken at face value. Then read the article, which goes a bit more in-depth about how the related study was conducted.

indicate the headline you chose and then discuss what impressions a reader of the headline might get from it and how this might influence their behavior. Then, discuss at least 2 reasons why the headline is misleading. You can discuss things like the study design used, the methodology of the study, etc.
