		Science is related in many ways to the economies of most nations, including Canada, and plays a major role in public and private decisions in many areas of society.
		Science can therefore not be viewed as merely a matter of “facts”; rather, it is a subject in which students learn to weigh the complex combinations of fact and value that developments in science and technology have given rise to in modern society.

	[No title]
		Misconceptions about science are most likely due to the lack of philosophy of science content in teacher education programs, the failure of such programs to provide and require authentic science experiences for preservice teachers and the generally shallow treatment of the nature of science in the precollege textbooks to which teachers might turn for guidance.
		A former U.S. president showed his misunderstanding of science by saying that he was not troubled by the idea of evolution because it was "just a theory." The president's misstatement is the essence of this myth; that an idea is not worthy of consideration until "lawness" has been bestowed upon it.
		We accept that no single guaranteed method of science can account for the success of science, but realize that induction, the collection and interpretation of individual facts providing the raw materials for laws and theories, is at the foundation of most scientific endeavors.

	Science Quotes - The Quotations Page
		Science is facts; just as houses are made of stones, so is science made of facts; but a pile of stones is not a house and a collection of facts is not necessarily science.
		In science one tries to tell people, in such a way as to be understood by everyone, something that no one ever knew before.
		In science, 'fact' can only mean 'confirmed to such a degree that it would be perverse to withhold provisional assent.' I suppose that apples might start to rise tomorrow, but the possibility does not merit equal time in physics classrooms.

	SCIENCE VOL.206 25 JUNE 1993
		We found that 6% of closed-canopy forest had been cleared as of 1988 and ~15% of the forested Amazon was affected by deforestation-caused habitat destruction, habitat isolation, and edge effects (Fig.
		(13) and the INPE (15) of ~280,000 km2 as of 1988.
		The average deforestation rate in the closed-canopy forests from 1978 to 1988 (~15,000 km2 year-l) (Table 3) is higher than the rate from 1975 to 1978 (3) but considerably lower than recent estimates (2, 4, 5, 20).

		Considering that an understanding of this heritage is a critical component of citizenship education, the social studies curriculum of elementary and secondary school should include a historical to present-day perspective on relationships of scientific and technological effects to the development of society.

	The Political Economy of Counterrevolution in China: 1976-1988 (Science)
		Science was transferred from the lab and the library to the factory, field and hospital during the Cultural Revolution.
		By this view, science was to be advanced by making the masses scientists who would solve their own problems and take care of their own needs.
		The change in the philosophy of science may be characterized as a deemphasis of struggle and practice and a renewed emphasis on unity and theory.

	discontents - words - Making science for whom? - Review of R.W. Home, Australian Science in the Making
		Science can, of course, be readily seen as international at certain levels of its social structure - scientists interact with scientists from other countries - though there are very definite limits on such interactions.
		The reluctance to fully locate Australian science culturally is reflected in the use of geography as a causal factor in determining aspects of scientific development.
		The next section, 'Science in a colonial society', considers 'colonial science', which, as I have described, is understood in terms of its connections with European science, rather than its own cultural location.

	African Science in School Curriculum
		The rich natural science of the Kalahari bushmen, (properly called the San), could make valuable contributions to the knowledge of many of our so-called experts, most of whom do their research in "ivory towers", on all but sterile campuses, surrounded by ribbons of steel and concrete.
		The primary purpose of this paper is to encourage science teachers to incorporate examples of African science and of important African-American scientists into their science lessons and to thus teach children to have equal respect for the accomplishments of all races.
		In this paper African science will be considered to be a way of describing and explaining nature which has arisen within an African context and which does not rely on the purported objectivism of Western science.

		A noted paleontologist, influential science popularizer, and agnostic, presents an argument that science and religion are "non-overlapping majesteria" or independent realms of human thought and experience.
