Getting it less wrong...

Submitted by Sage Hunter on Mon, 07/07/2008 - 1:55pm.

I find the idea that science is a collection of observations or an ongoing process of getting it less wrong is a very accurate and interesting concept. Teaching science to a group of 8th graders who believe they know everything and can be convinced of very little can be a bit challenging when certain scientific theories go against their belief system. I look forward to using this explanation of science to better explain why neither their beliefs, nor scientific explanations for certain issues are right or wrong, nor do they have to be. I also look forward to applying the concept of science as an ongoing story revision to better explain this concept.
