    Pandia Press Presents: Why Neutral Science isn’t Neutral, with Blair Lee (Ep #63, 6/4/16)

    (Show recording is at the bottom of the page) In this episode, the moms share the final part of their 2 part Secular Science Resource series, with an interview with Pandia Press author and scientist Blair Lee: Why Neutral Science isn’t Neutral. Links in this Episode: Beckie’s new pencil sharpener Why the earth is heating so fast Blair Lee’s Blog Blair Lee’s Facebook page SEA Homeschoolers Facebook page SEA Homeschoolers Blog Home|School|Life Magazine REAL Science Odyssey Info from this Episode: Secular science curricula and programs present the accepted facts, principles, models, and theories explaining how the natural and physical world works as recommended by a majority of practicing experts in that area of science. Science curricula and programs should not exclude or misrepresent scientific facts, principles, models, or theories that are considered core ideas in the field. Specifically, science curricula and programs will not be reviewed if they do the following: Minimize, misrepresent, or omit accepted scientific facts, principles, models, or theories Incorporate religious philosophy into the curriculum or program Politicize science issues in a way that misrepresents the issues What to look for in science courses The inclusion of evolution Is the word design used in place of the word evolution Is the word created or creation used when discussing how organisms, the universe, or matter came into existence? Organisms evolved; they were not created. Know your definitions – Science theory – A scientific theory is a widely accepted explanation of something observed in science. Theories are based on experimentation, observation, and reasoning—the scientific method. Scientific model – A scientific model is a simplified representation of a real system. Scientific models make it possible to study large, complex scientific principles and systems. Scientific models use the scientific method. Books in this Episode: Tina: Together ~ Rick Riordan books: * The Battle of the Labyrinth (Percy Jackson #4) * The Last Olympian (#5) * The Lost Hero (Heroes of Olympus #1) * The Son of Neptune (#2) * a href="http://www.amazon.com/Heroes-Olympus-Book-Three-Athena/dp/1423142004" target="_blank" rel="noopener...
