I took a course that was all about the historical progression of science as a discipline since the early 1800's, and it really opened my mind to how much I didn't know about science. I really think that a course like that should be taught to students BEFORE they start taking high school science courses. This would provide a historical context for the content of science courses and, I believe, make it a lot easier to digest the material in a science class (for the reasons the author suggests).
