The ability to recognize science when you see it is an important skill for everyone. Science is a process of inquiry that uses evidence to build knowledge about the natural world. It is a way of understanding the world around us and making decisions based on evidence.
Unfortunately, there is a lot of misinformation out there that can make it difficult to know what is and is not science. That's why we've created this new resource for teachers and the public on how to recognize science when you see it.
Our resource includes:
- A definition of science and its key features
- A list of common science myths and misconceptions
- Tips for evaluating scientific evidence
- A guide to finding credible scientific information
- And more!
We hope this resource will help you to become a more informed citizen and make decisions based on evidence.
