Although science is often considered by the public and even some educators to be merely a syllabus of information to be learned by the pupil, it is much more. It is primarily concerned with developing a logical disiplined approach to inquiry. Consequently, the goals for science education are related to developing science literacy in the student population, preparing for its use in the postschool world, and its application in society. Despite the recognized importance of science and mathamatics to our long-term economic health, the urgency does not seem to have reached some of our schools.
