Notes
Students in the study typically made no distinction between science and technology. Since the purpose of the research was to elicit student ideas, there were no attempts made to get the students to differentiate between science and technology. They were allowed to use the words as they would naturally. Of course, the misuse of the terms says something about the students misunderstanding of the nature of science, a point to be discussed in Chapter 9.
