Listen "Scientific Literacy"

Episode Synopsis

I was recently reading the May/June 2023 issue of "The Science Teacher" a publication of the National Science Teaching Association.  In this issue, I read the "Editor's Corner" column, written by Ann Haley MacKenzie.  She wrote an article entitled, "Promoting Scientific Literacy in the Science Classroom." This is the first of a two-part podcast series on Scientific Literacy.  In this podcast we will look at the meaning of Scientific Literacy - "understanding how science is done."  The next podcast will look at strategies for incorporating Scientific Literacy.
