The Nature of Science
I would like to share a PowerPoint I created for my graduate course on Science Education (EDCP 559). We are going to discuss the issues related to the nature of science and I decided to take a topic of evolution as an example. I chose this topic for today (even though biology is not my field) because it serves a great illustration of the issue of what IS science and what it is NOT. It is a relevant topic to any science educator, as if we do not think how to explain to the kids what science is and what scientists do to figure things out, the education they get will be incomplete.
