From original lesson:
Overview: Explores the realm and limits of science. Engages students to give examples of topics that can be studied by science, and those that cannot. This also takes a look at descriptive terms that reflect the true nature of modern science, and those that do not, especially those that do not fit the popular perceptions of science.
Lesson Concepts:
• Science is limited to the study of the natural universe.
• Science is limited to natural explanations.
• The natural universe refers to that which is perceived directly or indirectly by our senses.
