Dig Deeper: Curiosity, Critical Thinking & the Search for Truth

It’s Science Literacy Week, and this year’s theme is Curiosity.

Curiosity isn’t just about wanting to know more. It’s also about being willing to ask ‘How do we know?’

In Chapter 7 of Nature Labs, we take a closer look at critical thinking — exploring fact, bias, misinformation, news and the different ways we can investigate information and uncover the truth.

Part 1: Exploring Differences in Fact & How to Uncover Truth

Part 2: News & Misinformation Explained

It’s a chance for students to think about where information comes from, how we decide what to trust, and why staying curious is one of the most useful tools we have.

And once you’ve started asking questions, why stop there?
