Why Science? (Paperback) (ISBN: 9780807748305) Trefil, James Quantity Available: 1
Book Description: Teachers' College Press, United States, 2007. Paperback. Book Condition: New. 226 x 161 mm. Brand New Book with Free Worldwide Delivery. With conviction and clarity, prize-winning scientist and bestselling author James Trefil explains why every U.S. citizen needs to be scientifically literate. As Trefil sees it, citizens simply cannot participate fully in the democratic process if they dont understand fundamental scientific concepts. And he describes exactly what these principles are, from understanding natural selection to grasping Maxwells Equations governing electricity and magnetism; from recognizing that the surface of the earth is constantly in flux to grasping the basic concepts of physics and chemistry. With an appreciation of our national state of ignorance on scientific matters, he not only explains these concepts but also shows why they are worth knowing.

Book Description: Teachers' College Press. Paperback. Book Condition: new. BRAND NEW, Why Science?, James S. Trefil, With conviction and clarity, prize-winning scientist and bestselling author James Trefil explains why every U.S. citizen needs to be "scientifically literate" and, therefore, why our schools must teach the fundamental principles of scientific literacy to every student. And he lays out those principles straightforwardly, so that educators - and everyone who is interested in education - can understand exactly what they are.Trefil knows that initiating a national scientific literacy program won't be easy, but he convincingly argues that it is essential to our national future. After reading this book, you will agree that, whatever the cost of teaching scientific literacy, we simply can't afford not to heed his advice.In this enjoyable read, a well-known critic of the status quo in science education: describes the woeful state of science knowledge today; explains why today's science education is insufficient for tomorrow's needs; tackles the key topics of "scientific literacy" and explains how to teach them; confronts headline issues, including stem cell research, global warming, cloning, and "intelligent design"; shows why science education is essential to an informed citizenry and how scientific literacy is achievable; and, suggests a middle way between the two prevailing approaches to science education: "deep and narrow" vs. "broad but shallow.".
