Oh. That makes sense. I agree that learning the mechanisms of scientific theory is important, but the question then becomes: at what age can kids understand this distinction? I think not necessarily for younger kids in science. For the same reason that you learn the intricacies of the English language, history and math by learning finer detail each year in school.

To take science as "theory", is to apply the scientific definition of theory, as stated earlier, which governs that observations or outcomes can be duplicated in a predictable manner. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Special thanks to the CF Community Suite Silver Sponsor - New Atlanta http://www.newatlanta.com Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:5:140054 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/5 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:5 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.5 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
