Using an example, explain how being able to understand scientific principles and think scientifically can help you solve problems and answer questions in your everyday life.

Question

My response: Knowing how to read labels and how to be an informed consumer is one example! The FDA requires that nutritional information has to be listed on most food and over-the-counter medicines sold at stores.

Is this good enough or should I add anything else? <3

Answer 1

I think that sounds great, but you could also add more detail. For example, if you are educated in nutrition science, rather than just being able to read nutrition facts, you understand:
- what calories, fats, proteins, etc. are
- how much a milligram or gram of a substance weighs
- what Percent Daily Values means
and so on.

Be sure to write this in your own words and not just copy mine.

Hope that helps!
