ABSTRACT
Teaching All Features of Science Too many people regard science as a collection of facts and formulas. As important as scientifi c explanations are to science, studying science requires more than just learning about the products of science. Teachers who are unaware of the actions of science hold an incomplete view about the science learning their students should experience. Presenting science to students as an accumulated body of knowledge addresses only one aspect of the broad culture of science and will give students an inaccurate and limited view of the discipline. Teaching science with too much emphasis on the content would be like teaching language arts by providing students with a few nouns but no verbs-and expecting them to construct sentences. Likewise eff ective science teaching incorporates a healthy balance of concepts and skills.
