“To be science literate is to be able to see how and why science and engineering really matter, to know how to reason from evidence, and to have a sense of how scientists and engineers do what they do...When they are adults, today’s students will need to apply their capacity to think scientifically about important global challenges—such as climate change, the production and distribution of food, the supply of water, or pandemic diseases—even if they are not scientists or engineers themselves.”
