Big Ideas in Science

The first three modules built the skills of scientific thinking: the method, judging evidence, and how science works as a human enterprise. This module turns to the ideas themselves — the landmark discoveries every scientifically literate person should understand, told through how we came to know them.

You will explore evolution, atoms and matter, forces and energy, the cosmos, genetics, and Earth's climate — and close by looking out at the frontiers where the scientific adventure continues.
