Critical Thinking and Evaluating Information
The Critical Thinking and Evaluating Information lessons on Kids Boost Immunity are aligned with multiple subjects within the New Brunswick curriculum. These lessons provide examples of how misinformation can sway opinion, often by creating a sense of fear. A checklist evaluation method enables student to assess the trustworthiness of information sources. Other evaluation strategies include learning how to recognize personal bias and using a scientific approach to test ideas. For older grades there are lessons in designing experiments, creating a working hypotheses, exploring biases, and understanding correlation versus causation.
