Scientific Literacy

    You need to have enough science knowledge to question the claims made by scientists and people pretending to be scientists. If you are scientifically literate, you will be able to understand a science-related article and assess which parts are relevant, which parts are not relevant, and what the article actually says. You will also be able to recognize the scientific principle of a new technology.

    Scientists such as Galileo, Copernicus, and Pasteur suffered because their ideas about science contradicted what was believed to be true at the time. Discover what their controversial ideas were by doing an online search.
