Abstract Nature of science (NOS) is an important objective for international science education, and it has attracted more and more attention. In teaching practice, however, teachers have not attained informed views of nature of science (NOS), and do not have the supports of NOS teaching. This study has discussed the contents of NOS for K-12 students and explained the characters of effective nature of science instruction. Using “the history of atom structure”, the purpose of this study is providing examples of effective nature of science instruction to teachers.
