Why?
The nature of science (also explored in the IB Theory of Knowledge course) is an essential facet in the teaching of chemistry. When shared as an integral part of the syllabus it can improve student engagement and understanding by providing a context for its place and role in modern-day society as well as the fundamental concepts of chemistry as an area of knowledge.
This website was originally developed around the IB Diploma Programme Chemistry guide (right) but is applicable to all High School Chemistry curricula.

How?
This website aims to provide resources to help teachers engage students in the nature of science (NOS) aspect of the IB Chemistry Diploma Programme. Features on the website fit loosely around the 5 overarching NOS themes as described in the IB chemistry guide:
1. What is science and what is the scientific endeavour?
2. The understanding of science
3. The objectivity of science
4. The human face of science
5. Scientific literacy and the public understanding of science
The specific curriculum points in each theme will be displayed as seen in the IB guide.
