TAILIEUCHUNG - Teaching About Evolution and the Nature of Science

We are about to enter a century in which the United States will be even more dependent on science and technology than it has been in the past. Such a future demands a citizenry able to use many of the same skills that scientists use in their work—close observation, careful reasoning,. | http catalog TEACHING ABOUT EVOLUTION AND THE NATURE OF SCIENCE NATIONAL ACADEMY PRESS Washington DC Copyright 2004 National Academy of Sciences.
