Module overview

More often than not, science is taught as a body of knowledge – a collection of facts and figures. That can be misleading – for science is actually a process and a way of thinking. The scientific lifestyle and mindset should be one that is adopted by all individuals – not just scientists. Scientific literacy isn’t about reciting facts but rather adopting a way of looking at the world.

So what is science anyways? What are the key components to thinking scientifically? Why is it important to do so? This module will give learners an overview of the scientific process and how we can apply it to our everyday lives.
