Both of the URLs mentioned by Bruce include quotations from Bridgman,
who did after all win the big prize in Physics.
And Bridgman is certainly one who believes one is searching for the Truth,
when doing Physics, or more generally Science.
But I am perhaps unduly cynical, when I substitute "good story" for
"Truth".

There are also some some items on Scientific Method on Donald

Subject: [Phys-l] Scientific Method
I am helping to rewrite the manual for our county science fair. The
section on scientific method is the typical 7 steps of trying to
"prove or disprove"
your hypothesis. I volunteered to rewrite this section and do not want to
start from scratch. Does anybody have or know of a good treatment of good
scientific experimentation that I can paraphrase?
Thanks in advance,
M. Horton
