Welcome to Science Matters: The Role of Scientific Literacy in American Society
Hi Everyone,
Welcome to your IdEA capstone course. This is the class blog where you will reflect on class activities, discussions, projects and papers. I look forward to meeting you, soon.
Dr. E
The links to Uncommon Sense have some technical problems. I am attempting to resolve this issue. I am extending the deadline on that reading until next week's blog. If you have already read and blogged about it, make sure you are also blogging about the Scientific Process, as well.
