Scientific thinking for all: a toolkit has been developed under the leadership of Saul Perlmutter, 2011 Nobel Prize laureate in physics. He conceived the idea for the course, along with colleagues in the social sciences and philosophy, for undergraduates at the University of California, Berkeley. The high school initiative is in cooperation with Nobel Prize Outreach. The Lawrence Hall of Science at University of California, Berkeley (LHS) is adapting the college course to suit a younger audience. STEM Learning is advising LHS on how to serve students in the UK and training teachers on its use in the classroom.     

In this video Saul Perlmutter describes how scientific thinking techniques can empower students to make wiser decisions.
