While an impressive body of content knowledge is associated with science courses, there is more about the scientific enterprise itself that students should learn. In addition to viewing science as a body of knowledge, students should also view science as a way of thinking and investigating and should have an understanding of how science interacts with technology and society. The most complete science education experience must give students opportunities to learn about the very nature of science (NOS). One way to promote a better understanding of science is to study myths of science by teaching, testing, and reflecting on these ideas at many points during instruction. In this article, the authors have taken the core ideas of NOS, modified some ideas and incorporated others, and developed a "Myths of Science" quiz for students, that may be useful both as an assessment tool and advance instructional organizer. Some of the quiz statements represent myths regarding NOS, while others more accurately reflect NOS. These statements provide an engaging focus on faulty notions of how authentic science really functions. Answers for this true/false quiz are also provided. (Contains 1 figure.)
