Science Literacy
This guide introduces science literacy, the knowledge base of concepts, skills, and connections that you can use in daily life. That includes steps you can take to increase your science literacy in the years to come by filling in more and more of the course outcomes, not just related to the human body, but about all of nature. We hope this course is helping you organize what you already know into a blueprint for future learning.

We get asked where all of our images come from. Many we take ourselves, like most on this webpage, but we also have a subscription to Shutterstock, a company that provides images used by media outlets for a monthly fee. The artists are incredible and sometimes take photos or produce digital illustrations by request. If you need images for reports, you can also search for free stock images, there are many available online. Some require citing the source in exchange for the free access.
