Orientation for Learning Science

This orientation helps clarify what needs to be in place before scientific explanations can make sense.

It makes the structure of scientific thinking visible — so information has somewhere to land.

Learning science often feels difficult when a learner doesn’t yet know:

• what kind of task science is asking them to do 

• what counts as an explanation versus a fact  

• how evidence, models, and theories relate  

• what they’re supposed to understand, not just remember
