Sift quiz: Wellness & science claims
Science claims are everywhere online — whether about wellness, climate change, mental health, vaccines, supplements or other health products. To avoid being influenced by misinformation, it’s important to approach different types of information with varying degrees of skepticism, and to think critically about evidence presented.
This eight-question quiz asks students to evaluate examples of science and wellness claims on social media. Students can take this quiz individually, in groups or as a class.
