“My husband, a public high school chemistry and biology teacher, is wholeheartedly aligned with this particular opinion of Feynman and Rudel and for many years, has not used a textbook to teach science. When I asked why, he simply stated, “They just confuse the kids…
In the Science Myths Unmasked series, a great number scientific factoids and processes that are often misrepresented in the classroom are correctly explained, and in great detail.”

“I’ve changed a few classroom practices, finally have a grip on wave theory, and hope to pass the book along like a Gideon Bible. But I’ll have to buy extra copies to do that–I’m not letting go of this one.”

“So when David Rudel, editor of the excellent ExploreLearning site (home of the awesome science Gizmos) asked me to review his book Science Myths Unmasked, I couldn’t wait to check it out. I have to say I was not disappointed, in fact I would have written this review sooner but I was enjoying the book too much to stop…
I must admit there were a couple of times in Rudel’s book where I thought, “Oh that’s why, that never made sense before!” I too have misconceptions that I have explained away and it has been a great week to reaffirm and test my own understanding of Physics.”
