political authority. Curricula from the 1950s, as exemplified by MIT professor Jerrold Zacharias's </span><span class="" style="border-bottom-width: 1px; border-bottom-style: dotted; border-bottom-color: red; font-size: 12pt; ">PSSC</span><span class="" style="font-size: 12pt; "> course,
presented science through the lens of experimentation. Yet from the start educators decried Zacharias's monolithic approach.

student James Rutherford began to develop an alternative Science-Humanities curriculum based on Harvard's Nat. Sci. courses. They argued that historical context would attract and engage students and reconfigure how the public came to understand the relationship
between science and culture. By 1963, with implicit blessing from the NSF, their project grew into Harvard Project Physics (HPP). Yet many considered HPP orthogonal to the goals of the foundation and denied it funding. A new political landscape in the mid
1960s, however, shifted the relationship between the NSF and Office of Education, providing space for HPP.</span></font></span></div>

Meshoulam recently completed his PhD in the Department of Curriculum & Instruction at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. His work examines the history of science education, specifically the incorporation of history of science in science pedagogy. His doctoral
work traces the history of Harvard Project Physics, a curriculum developed during the 1960s. He also holds a Master's degree in the History of Science from UW-Madison; his thesis examined the incorporation of biographies in early 20th-century science textbooks.
His interests lie in how scientists and educators present the idea of "science" to students and how students come to understand scientific knowledge, the use of evidence, and ideas of expertise. His work has been published in the <i>Journal of Research in
Science Teaching</i> and <i>The Role of Public Policy in K-12 Science Education</i>. David currently teaches physics at Newton North High School in Newton, MA.</font></div>
