ABSTRACT
The world is becoming increasingly technical; science teachers are responsible for preparing students for this technology. Science teachers should emphasize the quality of their students' learning rather than just the quantity: Conceptual understanding is more important than rote memorization. Science teachers should emphasize the process of science rather than just the content, because students who understand the process are better prepared to acquire science content on their own. Science knowledge changes quickly and the updating of one's knowledge is a lifelong activity.
