Building Scientific Literacy: Helping Students Evaluate Evidence, Media, and Scientific Claims
Explore Practical Strategies for Building Functional Scientific Literacy with Dr. Joseph Levine
Today’s students encounter scientific, pseudo-scientific, and anti-scientific information everywhere—from algorithm-driven social media feeds and online videos to news headlines and digital content shared by peers.
How can we guide our students to evaluate scientific claims, distinguish experimentally generated scientific evidence from misinformation and disinformation, and apply critical-thinking skills without adding more to an already full curriculum?
In this free, on-demand webinar, Dr. Joseph Levine explores practical strategies for building functional scientific literacy through evidence-based, NGSS-aligned instruction.
