“I do not remember ANY current controversies taught in my high school biology, chemistry or physics classes”
Didn’t you get the Darwin vs. religious views? The Monkey Trial?
In chemistry, didn’t you have the history of the discovery of oxygen? Rutherford and the cannon-ball against tissue paper? The dew-drop model?
In physics didn’t they at least mention Watt and the industrial revolution and the reason for the development of thermodynamics (to make better steam engines)?
Do you have no history of science?
