How Science Works

The subject of science is always changing. From the first man on the moon to our changing climate, scientists are changing the way they approach the study of science. Due to that, we must also support our students in their scientific approach to problems. The University of California Department of Paleontology has developed a site to support that initiative, http://undsci.berkeley.edu/. The links on this site give additional information for teachers on how to approach scientific study, and how it may be more spatial than linear. Take a few moments to explore and read the information.
