At the American Association for the Advancement of Science meeting, Berkeley’s Judy Scotchmoor introduced a new web resource called Understanding Science <\/a>that’s intended to change the way that the nature and process of science are presented to students.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00c2\u00a0Scotchmoor of UC Berkeley’s Museum of Paleontology described the site in a talk at the American Association for the Advancement of Science meeting.\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0Scotchmoor said the effort grew out of Berkeley’s excellent Understanding Evolution site.\u00c2\u00a0 When doing some audience testing of that site, she said that it became clear that the public’s issues went way beyond the primary topic. “It wasn’t an evolution problem,” she said, “it was a science problem.”<\/p>\n

This is a “valuable resource.” and\u00c2\u00a0I would encourage any science teacher to include this in thier information archives.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
