Interdisciplinary Science
I was recently reading the November/December 2020 issue of \u201cThe Science Teacher\u201d a publication of the National Science Teaching Association.\xa0\xa0In this issue, I read the \u201cEditor\u2019s Corner\u201c column written by Ann Haley Mackenzie.\xa0 Her article was entitled \u201cWhy Science Teachers Must Employ Interdisciplinary Science Methods to Save the World.\u201d
Interdisciplinary science is when two disciplines come together to broaden the portrait of the concepts being uncovered by their students.\xa0 Climate change, cancer, overpopulation, food deserts, pollution, and other critical topics benefit from individuals ingaging in collaborative interdisciplinary science.\xa0 It is a way to help students see the interconnections of the natural world. \xa0
