Larry Flammer was a highly skilled high-school science teacher who strongly promoted teaching the nature of science at the start of science courses. His 80-page book, entitled Science Surprises: Exploring the Nature of Science, features active learning and is designed to be used by high school students. Published in 2014, it includes chapters entitled “Why Science? What is Science?” and “Pseudoscience: a Major Misuse”. (Flammer also produced a valuable website that can be accessed on the Wayback Machine.)
Chapter 2 of Science Surprises, entitled “What Science is Not” focuses on the questions that cannot be answered by science.
