Scientific teaching aims to teach student how to conduct science instead of just teaching about science. It also serves as a challenge to instructors to, "...bring to teaching the critical thinking, rigor, creativity, and spirit of experimentation that defines research," (from Handelsman, Miller, and Pfunds' "Scientific Teaching" pg. 1).
