The purpose of this paper is to offer alternative ways in the instruction of the Nature of Science (NOS), while making connections with areas of knowledge outside the natural sciences. It focuses on the teaching of NOS in the Theory of Knowledge (TOK) course of the International Baccalaureate Organization, which is a curriculum that connects NOS with other areas of knowledges.

The first of these points refers to the question of what are the tenets of NOS that relate to other areas of knowledge. The second one explores the role of NOS in those cases in which natural sciences connect with other areas of knowledge. After pondering these two questions, I extracted an example from educational materials, and analyzed in detail the role of NOS..
