Literacy is the root where students start their growth of scientific knowledge. The literacy processes are the means by which science content is learned because content information is rooted in written and oral language (Casteel & Isom, 1994). Science literacy is not the same as merely memorizing the key points of a topic, but the ability to use these key points to formulate ideas and arguments. Someone who is scientifically…

A hypothesis is based on prior…

Considering that it is the largest bodies of investigation we have, along with being the most socially acceptable. Although, that seems to be the issue at hand here, that science discovers things about our reality and most people at large, tend to accept the reported findings.
