It’s Science Literacy Week, and this year’s theme is Curiosity.
Curiosity is where science begins. Ask a question. Investigate. Look for evidence. Be willing to learn something new.
In Science Chapter 5 of Nature Labs, we explore how we build knowledge and understand the world around us — from the scientific process of inquiry to traditional knowledge, stewardship and the importance of collaboration.
HERE’S HOW: Understanding Stewardship, Traditional Knowledge & the Scientific Process of Inquiry Five parts | 50 minutes
Part 1: Why the Process Matters
Part 2: The Scientific Process of Inquiry Explained
Part 3: Understanding Traditional Knowledge
Part 4: Understanding Stewardship & International Biodiversity Targets
Part 5: The Importance of Collaboration & Democracy to Good Science
Because being scientifically literate isn’t just about knowing the answers. It’s about being curious enough to ask questions, thoughtful enough to examine evidence, and open enough to learn from different ways of knowing.
