Description
Nature of Science is featured in all science curricula. However, science in schools typically only features examples from the early 1900s. Often, those examples no longer reflect contemporary scientific practices. Meanwhile, modern discoveries, such as the Higgs boson discovery in 2012, provide a prime example of science in the making and a great opportunity to discuss the Nature of Science. Our activity connects steps in discovering the Higgs boson to the Nature of Science aspects. The activity is further supported by mystery boxes which enable students also to experience the nature of scientific discovery.
