from the philosophy of science that might be worth sharing
with science teachers in view of what contemporary science curricula mandate to
teach. The second subsection utilises those key ideas to produce a compact
characterisation of science: the scientific enterprise is depicted as a model-based
intervention on the natural world. It is the contention here that such depiction is
valuable in order to conceive and design school science, i.e. a robust ‘didactical
transposition’ (cf. Lijnse 2000) of the science to be taught that has educational aims.
