    This document contains an assignment for a science class that asks students to read an article about the nature of science and then answer questions to review and test their understanding. The assignment is divided into two parts - the first asks students to define science, discuss its goals, and give examples of how science advances. The second part provides an adaptive practice with 10 multiple choice questions about the nature of science, the scientific method, and how scientific knowledge changes and advances over time. Students are asked to select the correct answer for each question. When completed, students are instructed to submit their work to the online learning platform Canvas.
