Good idea that science is about less wrong instead of right. Students who have to take the whole thing 'because teacher said so' and then find one 'fact' proved wrong later on, may discard all the other good stuff along with it. Isn't that what Galileo saw that broke the earth centered theory? Folks said that the Sun and EVERYTHING revolved around Earth so when he saw moons going around Jupiter that was enough to break apart the whole thing. No evidence that Earth itself was cirling the Sun, but evidence that not everything circled the Earth. My favorite part is the use of evidence and the formation of new summaries with multiple inputs from other folks, Regards,
Bruce
