Description
Science literacy is essential for an informed citizenry. James Trefil argues that our schools must teach fundamental principles of scientific literacy to every student. In this book, he explains why today's science education is insufficient and how to teach the key topics of scientific literacy. He tackles headline issues such as stem cell research, global warming, cloning, and intelligent design, proposing a middle way between traditional approaches to science education.
