Beyond Science Standards capture a vision of science education both
whimsical and serious. Ranging across examples from elementary to
university level classrooms and grounded in philosophy and history,
the stories address dimensions beyond the realm of bureaucratic
standards. Its thesis brings into question the premise of
scientific unity and its representation in school as notions of
method, process, nature, and practice. Schools, no less than the
sciences, profit from playful exploration-of musical instruments in
fourth grade physical science, for example, and hotel lobby
decorative rock in a college geology course. Aesthetic expression
permeates geologic interpretation and evolutionary insight-in
depicting dentition, for instance, in the history of the horse
family and linking this history to changing landscapes.
Participating in collecting local, high altitude weather data
enhances trust in climate science, especially when the observations
benefit the local farming community. Allied with historical
examples of the conduct of science, Beyond Science Standards offers
the reader inspiring stories of science teaching, varying from
place to place, time to time, discipline to discipline, and purpose
to purpose.
