Royaume-Uni

Science

In 7 episodes, Crash Course Scientific Thinking will teach learners the foundational principles underlying scientific thought, pulling back the curtain on processes like peer review, interrogating what makes sources reliable (or not), unpacking how consensus is reached, and revealing how scientific understanding changes over time. Ultimately, learners will gain the ability to think more critically about the scientific information they encounter in their everyday lives. Series Objectives - Describe the dynamic, communal nature of science, articulating the roles of uncertainty and consensus. - Explain the role of peer review and replication in science. - Unpack the potential for bias and error in science and understand its self-correction mechanisms. - Understand the role of specialization in scientific expertise. - Interpret primary, secondary, and tertiary sources, and use lateral reading to verify claims. - Understand basic statistical language used to describe scientific findings.
