A history and philosophy of science course with a laboratory, focusing on science as a human activity. Through an examination of methods, explanations, limitations, and applications of science, the student is given sufficient background to be able to recognize attributes of true science, pseudoscience, and technology.

Although examples from biology, chemistry, earth and environmental sciences, and physics are used to illustrate the nature of science and how it changes, this course is not designed as an introduction to those disciplines. Rather, it is a general science course which attempts to demonstrate some trends in science and how a scientist works. 4 SH. Core: Perspectives on the World, Science and Technology.
