Examine current beliefs regarding NOS of adults and adolescent learners. Explore the impact of the knowledge of science through scientific literacy on society and modern life. Adapt existing lesson plans to explicitly address the various elements of the Nature of Science (NOS). The end product associated with SCIE 535 is to modify and/or create lessons to explicitly integrate components of the NOS. This course can be a stand alone course or can provide teachers with the opportunity to apply and extend the knowledge gained in the Inquiry I SCIE 531 and Inquiry II SCIE 532 courses.
