Unfourtunately when we develop curriculum we spend all of our time on
the what.  I've had some recent discussions about this and would be
interested any comments about the "how".  Specifically, the way we
teach science and the way scientists do science.  Is there a
difference? And should there be a difference?  How does one go about
affecting change?
