2020 Workshop Talk | 1:00:38 | 7-12, Science

Summary


This talk will examine the difference between natural philosophy and science. How we ended up in the ditch that is modern science, and how best to crawl out of it. We have gotten lazy when it comes to how and why we teach science, because we have lost the history and philosophy of science. We need to recover the tools of natural philosophy and apply them to the incredible advances made in science today.

Speaker


Joel Dowers returned to his alma mater, The Oaks Classical Christian Academy, to teach high-school sciences four years ago. This was after spending a number of years at Marion Medical Center, working as a clinical exercise physiologist. He received an AA from New Saint Andrews college, a BS from the University of Idaho and an MS from California Polytechnic State University. He has been married to his beautiful wife, Mary, for 13 years and are excited that their three children get to attend the Oaks.
