Science plays a very important role in our present and future world as it permeates our daily
routine and professions. Scientific knowledge, combined with creativity as well as wisdom from other
disciplines, puts at our disposal technologies, instruments, devices and various products which
facilitate living and working. Scientific endeavour enables us to develop our thinking process in
various aspects including reasoning, creative thinking, analyzing, criticizing, inquiring, solving
problems systematically and making decision based on diverse data and verifiable evidence. Now that
science is considered by many to be a global culture for our knowledge-based societies, it is necessary
for everyone to be equipped with sufficient knowledge of science and its implications. The goal of
scientific literacy for all is to enable us to understand nature and man-made technological products
and to use our scientific knowledge reasonably, creatively, and responsibly
