after the bell

Though how science actually works is often studied by philosophers of science more than by practicing scientists, the national science education standards clearly call for science teachers to help their students to understand how scientific knowledge is constructed in particular disciplines.

I ran across this explanation of scientific laws, theories, and facts on Edutopia.

Scientists often have their own views about these terms and others such as “scientific models,” which was not mentioned in the article. Would you agree with the article’s distinctions? What examples would you give your students for what are and are not laws, theories, and facts in your particular discipline. How will you explain the role of scientific models?
