National Science Education Standards.
History and Nature of Science (9 - 12)Science as a human endeavor
Science and technology have been practiced by people for a long time.
Men and women have made a variety of contributions throughout the history of science and technology.
Although men and women using scientific inquiry have learned much about the objects, events, and phenomena in nature, much more remains to be understood. Science will never be finished.
Many people choose science as a career and devote their entire lives to studying it. Many people derive great pleasure from doing science.
