The problem based learning supports the process of obtaining an education. Problem based learning is learning through problem solving. It is more impressive to be able to apply your knowledge through problem solving than by getting a good grade on a multiple choice test. Instead of memorizing information and forgetting it later, PBL helps to retain knowledge and lets you apply your knowledge.
Standard 9 greatly helped me to understand evolution theory. It helped me because it linked it to real world problems, making it easier to comprehend. We talked about domestication of animals and mutation, which helped to understand and retain the information. This is one of many ways standard nine helped me. PBL makes learning much better. It makes it more fun, helps to remember, and prepares us for the world.
My performance in standard nine proves that I am science literate. To be science literate is to know and understand science terminology. You need to have a basic understanding of science inquiry. I was able to become science literate by studying terminology and by solving problems through PBL. I solved these problems using metacognitive skills and by thinking divergently. An example of my science literacy is when I talked about the domestication of animals, I used multiple science terms to convey my message. In this way, I showed understanding.
 
The information in the video, “People Are Not Animals!” is based on misconceptions. It uses many kinds of fallacies such as antiquity, appeal from quantum physics, and argument from authority. The video says that evolutionists believe that humans are filthy animals. This is incorrect because evolution is a process of genetic change of a population over time; it isn’t about us evolving as an organism. Our bodies evolve from evolution by migration, genetic drift, natural selection, and artificial selection. Another misconception is when the video states that humans evolved from primates. This is a misconception because evolution does not talk about evolving from primates. The video also talks about Christian beliefs, which is an antiquity fallacy. The video argues that evolutionists are wrong but it is backing it up with the bible, saying that humans are made in the image of God. That is why science knowledge is so important; it helps us to differentiate between empirical evidence and beliefs. You need evidence in order to prove that your case is scientifically correct.
