CL A1 How Science Works Mar24


Description
Have you ever wondered how lightning is created? How we go from single-celled organisms
into the most intelligent species on the planet? Or even, how we generate electricity to power
our homes? During this course, you will learn the answers to these questions and a whole lot
more. We will explore all corners of STEM though the study of nine objects or phenomena from
both the natural and human-made world. Each lesson can broadly be placed into one of three
categories. Let us take a look at each one.
