Science Myths in K-6 Textbooks
http://amasci.com/miscon/miscon.html
"Science Myths" in K-6 Textbooks and Popular culture
The complex and abstract nature of Science makes the subject difficult to understand. But complexity is not the only barrier to our understanding Science. The subject is made much more difficult by the presence of numerous misleading "Science Myths" which circulate in the popular culture, which are handed down from parents to children, and which have become so common and widespread that they even appear in science textbooks and are taught as facts in elementary school.
