The author describes the process he used to design a study on how students develop an ethical view of science. In the process, he also describes some of the lessons used as a part of the research. Both the research and the lessons furnish interesting information on how his students developed their own set of science ethics over animal and human research practices. While I touch on ethics as a part of NOS, energy resources, and climate change, I have never addressed it in this detail, the results were interesting.

In this chapter, the author explains and provides examples of not one but three academic styles of reading/writing that students over the course of their education should be exposed to in science. It presents an argument that we need to help students to move from conversational styles of communication to academic styles if only to help them to learn how to express themselves clearly. I don't think I would expose students who are not interested in pursuing science to formal academic science journals, I find the ones in my area hard enough to understand, however, exposing them to those popular journals which have science concentrations would provide them with the means to continue to develop science literacy on their own.
