Critical Litercy in Science

Have you ever saw a subatronic spectacle of matter collapse on itself? This is probably not a question you would normally ask of yourself. Let me ask you this then, have you ever looked down from a somewhere far off the ground such as ledge or on top of a tall building and wondered "How far is it to the bottom"? One way you can find out is by dropping a stone and counting how long it takes. This can simply be done by using this equation: vertical distance is equal to half the gravity multiplied by the square value of time or otherwise known as y= 1/2 x g x t^2. Gravity is measured as 9.8 meters per squared second.

Try and see how far these guys have been fell.

If you have an answer more or less 45158 meters than you are right. In real life this may not be completely accurate, but you were able to come to a value or an answer.

Literacy in science is about doing things. I never completely understood this phrase until recently. Literacy is science is all about asking questions and finding your own answers based on what you know. It is about looking for evidence and testing to find results. Its all about problem solving and translating your knowledge into your reasoning and exploration to discover the truth. 

Thus, brings me to another idea. Is everything we know to be true. Is there such a thing as global warming and are we to blame? This topic has been a political debate for over a decade. While searching for the answer you will find discrepancies from scientific findings, where one party is biased toward one idea. So you have to wonder, how is the findings distorted? Who are they targeting? and for what reasons is there distortion if any?

In the following article you can find that there is a push towards global warming when the data is not there to support it.
