Synopsis

This volume examines ways in which beliefs and values interact with science and science teaching. It looks at some of the spiritual, moral, social and cultural contexts within which science has developed and considers how these factors can affect the choice of scientific theory. Various historical sections provide resource material for showing pupils the role of history of science in the study of science. Interactions between science and religious belief are also analyzed to clarify the nature, strengths and limitations of science, as well as its place in the total curriculum.
