UC-Berkeley. 2009. University of California at Berkeley, “Understanding Science, how science
really works; online at :
“. . . . ‘Understanding Science’ gives users an inside look at the general principles, methods, and
motivations that underlie all of science. This project has at its heart a re-engagement with science
that begins with teacher preparation and ends with broader public understanding. Its immediate goals
are to (1) improve teacher understanding of the nature of the scientific enterprise, (2) provide
resources and strategies that encourage and enable K-16 teachers to reinforce the nature of science
throughout their science teaching, and (3) provide a clear and informative reference for students and
the general public that accurately portrays the scientific endeavor. The ‘Understanding Science’ site
was produced by the UC Museum of Paleontology of the University of California at Berkeley, in
collaboration with a diverse group of scientists and teachers, and was funded by the National Science
Foundation. Understanding Science was informed and initially inspired by our work on the
‘Understanding Evolution’ project , which highlighted the fact that
many misconceptions regarding evolution spring from misunderstandings of the nature of science.
