5.3) Principle III: Integrating Nature of Science into Photosynthesis<br />
Using Historical Narratives to Illuminate the Nature of Science (IPST, 2002)<br />
Underst<strong>an</strong>ding the nature of science was perceived as import<strong>an</strong>t as<br />
underst<strong>an</strong>ding the photosynthesis concepts based on the teaching unit. Historical<br />
narrative was theoretically chosen as <strong>an</strong> effective way to illuminate the nature of<br />
science. Three aspects in science integrated in the concepts are that scientific ideas<br />
are subjected to ch<strong>an</strong>ge; that science dem<strong>an</strong>ds evidence; <strong>an</strong>d that science is a complex<br />
social activity.<br />
