Author Description

Science education has changed in recent time. It is generally no longer accepted that science is just learning established theories, testing hypotheses and using the skill of observation and measurement. The effect of rapid technological advancement in society today has meant that science has developed into a wider discipline that encompasses pure science, technology and the effect of both of these on society. The activities in this book encourage students to explore the relationship between science and technology, and experience how the two terms are interwoven and interdependent on many levels.
