There is more to science than just "the facts." Try to think of science as a process, as well as, a collection of facts and products. The process is the real-life, messy part. It is about everyday people with their everyday problems working very hard to figure out what is "Real and True" around them.If you would like to learn more about the history of science, check out the five dead guys below. I have constructed lessons to guide your exploring. If you are a student of mine, complete work from five (minimum) sites for inclusion in your portfolio.
