A recent report tell us that American adults don’t remember a lot of their science information.
…environmental protection, and global health and energy issues, scientific literacy is currently low among American adults…
It brings into question how well the American education system worked for us (adults) in terms of lifelong learning and retention of the basics.
Only 53% of adults know how long it takes for the Earth to revolve around the Sun.
Only 59% of adults know that the earliest humans and dinosaurs did not live at the same time.
Only 47% of adults can roughly approximate the percent of the Earth’s surface that is covered with water.
