Short Description

Many governmental and educational institutions include Nature of Science understanding as one of the fundamental goals of K–12 STEM education. However, there is little research exploring the enhancement of Nature of Science understanding through theatre productions relative to the history of science. This design proposal suggests that the production of “Life of Galileo” by Bertolt Brecht could enhance students’ understanding of research, the scientific method, and the criteria that differentiate scientific from non-scientific theories.
