26The scientific enterprise is organized around several concepts which make up what is called “[blank_start]the nature of science[blank_end]” (NOS). These concepts serve to standardize and guide scientific inquiry around the globe. Understanding the nature of science helps to understand how science applies to our every day lives and promotes scientific literacy.
