The conference on &ldquo\;How Can HPS Contribute to Science Literacy and Citizenship?&rdquo\; will focus \;on what should be taught to prepare students to participate as citizens in discussions of policy \;when scientific concerns must be accounted for along with those of economics\, ethics\, law\, \;culture\, and politics. What is it about science that future citizens need to understand to advise \;their leaders about policy? What historical examples can be used? What is the content bridge \;between the science classroom and the social studies classroom to address these issues in Grades \;K-12? What teacher professional development may be necessary? These are some of the \;questions to be addressed.

\n

The conference will consist of presentations and a subsequent round-table discussion intended for \;the conferees to share ideas. During the round-table\, science and social studies teachers will have \;an opportunity to express their perspectives based on their classroom experience.

\n\n
