Teaching Science
Teaching is presentation of information or skills to others. The process of teaching can be greatly broadened to include computers, textbooks, or educational television. Generally, the word 'teacher' refers to human beings, and although the teacher may use various technologies as instruction aides, it is the human teacher who decides the content and methods used. Science is generally defined as the development and systematization of positive knowledge about the physical universe. Its history is the description and explanation of that development. Science is generally viewed as a cumulative and progressive activity. Below you will find links to science-related sites to help in teaching science.
