Abstract for the conference program
An upper-level physical science course for middle grades teacher candidates explicitly addressed the nature of science by engaging students in historical activities that led to the development of atomic theory. Participants will explore how to investigate students’ understanding of science in order to move students from seeing science as activities and facts toward a conception of science as a human, cultural process.
