Course Overview

Have you ever wondered about the different ways of measuring speed, and why do objects move the way they do? If yes, then the Question Everything: Scientific Thinking in Real Life training is for you. This science course is created for curious individuals with an inclination to unpack the inner workings of everyday instances and make you better prepared to pursue Science and Maths.

The course is the fruit of a collaboration between the University of Queensland and Brisbane Grammar School. The Question Everything: Scientific Thinking in Real Life online course will cover key scientific concepts and real-life applications of these concepts. You will also get to supplement your learning with examples.

High school students can join the Question Everything: Scientific Thinking in Real Life program to nurture their interest in maths and science. Students will develop their scientific thinking skills in this online course which has a duration of eight weeks. Learners familiar with fundamental concepts of Mathematics can pursue the course. The candidates are given the option of two tracks which may be chosen so that the course can be completed. Both the course tracks are self-paced but there is a time limit until which the course remains accessible in the audit mode. But in the case of the verified track, the candidates will be able to access the course materials for an unlimited period of time.
