Some teachers are apprehensive in a world where we increasingly see science illiteracy and science denial far too often in mainstream media. The reality is science has never been better and it's our job to teach what the scientific consensus is related to the curriculum. This session will explore and hopefully re-enforce a that teaching topics like anthropogenic climate change, evolution, the effectiveness of vaccines or the Earth being round are not debatable. These are sound scientific facts with overwhelming supporting evidence. I hope to share ideas and resources that will help teachers explore these topics in a engaging and non-confrontational way.
