At a time of critical scientific and human challenges such as climate change, nuclear proliferation, human overpopulation, massive habitat destruction, and the loss of biodiversity, along with constant misinformation in the mass and social media (e.g., alien encounters and chemtrails), The Way of Science: Finding Truth and Meaning in a Scientific Worldview provides a much needed counteractive, and reason to hope for the future. Recent polling data indicate that just over 50% of Americans believe in special creation, and of those polled, about 40% believe that humans lived during the same time as dinosaurs.

Student groups have 4 consecutive weeks to conduct the lab assignment using observation and laboratory techniques. After 4 weeks, students present their findings by describing their process of inquiry, soil analysis results, and the conceptual reasoning behind their hypotheses using key course concepts.

Presenting information about the neurobiology of addiction to students while they are in high school offers hope for improving policy decisions by these future voters. In addition, it provides them with a foundation for promoting safe behaviors and choices for themselves, their families, and the community. By translating what scientists are discovering through research into science that can be understood by the general public, educators offer their students opportunities to challenge old notions about drug abuse and replace them with evidence-based knowledge.\u0000\u0000We’ve seen a paradigm shift in the past decade.

Dr. Christian Klug, the coauthor of this book, is a paleontological expert from the Paleontological Institute and Museum, University of Zurich. Both fossils and stamps are valued museum objects. The first record natural history, while the second record national history and resources. Both have the potential to record science history and, thus, play significant roles in science communication. A postage stamp can communicate a message, disseminate science information, and propagate science culture to the masses. Science-based stamps help to increase the potential of postage stamps beyond simple “collection materials” to valued sources of information. A postage stamp is a unique medium for science communication and can be a good teaching and learning aid. Utilizating postage stamp imagery as storyteller, the authors complement one another and present an appealing compilation of fossil stamps and postmarks scattered throughout the book. …","PeriodicalId":50960,"journal":{"name":"American Biology Teacher","volume":"26 1","pages":"65-66"},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2013-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79077223","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"教育学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
