1. The Nature of Science

1A. The Scientific Worldview

6-8: 1A/M3. Some scientific knowledge is very old and yet is still applicable today.
9-12: 1A/H2. From time to time, major shifts occur in the scientific view of how things work. More often, however, the changes that take place in the body of scientific knowledge are small modifications of prior knowledge. Continuity and change are persistent features of science.
