Science 8 – Current Global Issues in Science

Artificial intelligence. Climate Science. Environmental conservation. Space Exploration. Plastic Pollution. Science topics regularly grace today’s headlines. In Science 8, we take a transdisciplinary approach to these and other current issues to develop science literacy skills in real world contexts. As we study the science behind current global issues, we explore how to support scientific claims with evidence, how to communicate scientific understanding, and how we as critical thinkers can engage with current issues through informed action and advocacy.
