Dr. Bonham’s work as a science educator and researcher focuses on scientific skills and the cultural contexts of science.  A major area of focus of his research group has been on teaching and learning scientific communication, improving instruction of scientific writing and helping students understand and construct scientific arguments.  He is also interested in the use of science history for the teaching about the nature of science and how it works.  A final area is working to better understand socio-scientific controversies and improve communication about them.
