Science Savvy helps museums, communicators and teachers focus on ways to cultivate the science know-how of learners of all ages. We encourage learners to ask not just "What do scientists know?" but also "How do they know that? How do they show that? How do they test that?" And of course, "How do they know it's not someway else?" By focussing on science as a process of probing the unknown, learners get at the epistemological heart of science as a way open to all to describe phenomena and then imagine and state possible explanations and create ingenious and persuasive ways to test those ideas empirically and, when possible, experimentally.
We invite learners to experience science through activities, analogies and experiments. We use puzzles, parables, paradoxes and proverbs to invite learners to wrangle with something intriguing and then to come up with several possible explanations, and to come up with ways to test those explanations.
