We
could teach the isolated fact: “the tilt of the earth’s axis
|
|
|
is
responsible for the change of seasons.”
|
|
|

We
could teach that science is about the construction of
|
|
|
|
models
that coherently and consistently explain many facts
|
|
|
|
(such
as the fact that when it is summer in the northern
|
|
|
|
hemisphere
it is winter in the southern).
|
|
|

We
could teach that science is a refinement of everyday
|
|
|
|
experience
and get them to think about the implications of
|
|
|
|
short
winter and long summer days.
