 Definitions of Science Fiction
Science Fiction is that class of prose narrative treating of a situation that could not arise in the world we know, but which is hypothesized on the basis of some innovation in science or technology, or pseudo-technology, whether human or extra-terresial in origin.
Science fiction is story-telling, usually imaginative as distinct from realistic fiction, which poses the effects of current or extrapolated scientific discoveries, or a single discovery, on the behavior of individuals of society.
Science fiction is a branch of fantasy identifiable by the fact that it eases the "willing suspension of disbelief" on the part of its readers by utilizing an atmosphere of scientific credibility for its imaginative speculations in physical science, space, time, social science, and philosophy.

 Content Standards for Science
The first priority is basic science and mathematics literacy for all student so that as adults they can participate fully in a world that is increasingly being shaped by science and technology.
Science literacy consists of knowledge of certain important scientific ideas and habits of mind and an awareness of the nature of science, its connections to mathematics and technology, and its relation to society.
In most classrooms, science has been presented as an inert body of knowledge to be assimilated, rather than a process of inquiry and a way to make sense of our world.

 UFO Evidence : Mainstream Science and UFOs   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
This process is self-reinforcing: the apparent lack of data confirms the view that there is nothing to the UFO phenomenon, and this view works against the presentation of relevant data." Dr.
Peter A. Sturrock, Professor of Space Science and Astrophysics and Deputy Director of the Center for Space Sciences and Astrophysics at Stanford University; Director of the Skylab Workshop on Solar Flares in 1977.
Furthermore, some of those few scientists who have studied UFO data have published explanations which are unconvincing or just plain wrong and have "gotten away with it" because most of the rest of the scientific community has not cared enough to analyze these explanations.

 Creationism: Bad Science or Immoral Pseudoscience? An Expose of Duane Gish
The Arkansas law, Act 590, which mandated the teaching of creation science, was overturned in a landmark decision in 1982 by Judge William Overton.
The creation science bill amounted to "a religious crusade, coupled with a desire to conceal this fact," he said, and "the evidence is overwhelming that both the purpose and effect of Act 590 is the advancement of religion in the public schools" (Overton 1982).
Debates are a poor forum for imparting the complexities of science and evolution, and a good forum for delivering the simplistic and often eloquent rhetoric of creation science.

 S&E Indicators 2006 - Chapter 1: Elementary and Secondary Education - Student Learning in Mathematics and Science
At each grade level, in both mathematics and science, students eligible for the subsidized lunch program (i.e., students from low-income families) had lower average scores and were less likely to reach the proficient level than students who were not eligible.
Examination of science results shows that in 2003, the average science score of U.S. fourth and eighth grade students was higher than the TIMSS international averages, which were based on scores from both developed and developing countries (Gonzales et al.
It is important to note that whereas the TIMSS program identified common mathematics and science curriculum across participating countries, there are many differences in the way countries delivered that curriculum and in their breadth of coverage (Sherman, Honegeger, and McGivern 2003).

Contributions to software science include theories of programming languages and paradigms (Tennent 2000), formal methods and program verification (Wing 1990), Lehman's (1996) laws of software evolution, Turner's (forthcoming) foundations to the theory of functional specifications, software complexity (Zuse 1998), and the Intension/Locality criteria (Eden and Kazman 2003).
