The Nature of Science SymposiumSaturday,
March 18, 2000

K-12 teachers of science join world-renowned scientists for a day of exploration and reflection about the nature of science. What is the relationship between a scientific theory and a scientific fact? Do changes in our understanding of nature undermine science or the scientific method? Why is science not just another belief system?
- Find out what scientists say about current research on evolution, particle physics and the origins of the universe.
- Meet with master teachers to discuss classroom implementation of the processes and accepted practices of scientific inquiry.
- Preview current instructional resources.
- Come early and check out Weird Science and their offbeat
take on the nature of science.
