Harwood vs. Baloney detection kit

The Baloney detection kit really focuses on the steps one can take to decide whether or not something is true. It provides examples and questions one can consider to help them understand what information to believe and what not to believe. These ideas are very important, especially since most of today's information is coming from the TV or internet which are not always the most valid sources.

The Harwood model provides readers with steps they can take to provide accurate information to outsiders. Using the steps in the harwood model, you can come up with an idea, test results and have all of the necessary information to give others about the results.

I think both of these models are important for students to consider when they are doing research or experiments. Not everything you hear or see is going to be true but if everyone used both of these models when completing research, the information people attain would be a lot more true.
