Abstract:
Science is a dynamic, expanding body of knowledge, covering ever-new domains of experience. In
a progressive forward-looking society, science can play a truly liberating role, helping people
escape from the vicious cycle of poverty, ignorance and superstition (National Curriculum
Framework, 2005). In other words, society directly or indirectly depends on products and services
that are developed with the help of science and technology. Innovations in Science and
Technology have changed the way we live, move, communicate, work and play. Meanwhile, news
headlines on global warming, environmental protection, cloning or genetically engineered food all
deal with science-based issues that directly affect our lives (International Council for Science
(ICSU), Paris (2011). In the present scenario, people are faced with a rapidly changing world.
