Abstract
Minnesota chemistry teachers were surveyed to determine their practices for including nature of science content into general chemistry curriculum. Teacher experience, engagement in professional development and licensing institutions were compared with their tendency to include nature of science topics as part of their curriculum. Engagement in professional development was found to have the strongest relationship with a weak positive correlation. Participants also reported the specific nature of science standards they include in the instruction of general chemistry and the frequency of these responses are analyzed.
