Sources
While I like to think that Teaching Science from a Historical Perspective
is "my creation", I am well aware that the information
used to create this method came from a wide variety of sources. It
is the information gathered by these authors that has allowed me
to do what I do and to whom I am grateful.
- The Timetables of Science by Hellemans and Bunch
ISBN 0-671-73328-1
This text establishes a timeline for scientific discoveries
and was very helpful in research.
- History of Science Lesson Plans

Although I use this site as a reference here, I have done little
but peruse this site.
- The Science Book by Susan Greenfield
–ISBN 0-297-84337-0
This text also establishes a timeline for discoveries and is
full of fabulous graphics.
- The Demon-Haunted World by Carl Sagan
–ISBN 0-345-40946-9
Sagan is my favorite scientific author. This text examines how
scientists and society should view science.
- Great Feuds in Science by Hal Hellman
–ISBN 0-471-35066-4
Science is full of conflict and struggles with a variety of viewpoints.
This text highlights some of the best.
- Napoleon’s Buttons by Le Couteur & Burreson

Although I do not teach chemistry standards, this book was very
entertaining and helpful.
- A Short History of Nearly Everything by Bill Bryson

I am currently reading this book, and I wish I had written it.
It reads the way I teach and has already won awards for scientific
writing.
