3.) Why is it important to be scientifically literate? Scientifically literate means you

are able to understand and interpret basic scientific principles, discoveries, and

vocabulary.

An increase in science knowledge would benefit society and everyone who lives in it. As science progresses, more developments and innovations will happen, which may bring up issues and debates around them. A society with a higher science literacy would be able to make better judgement and decisions being more knowledgeable.
