This video produced by the STEPWISE team helps teachers to teach students, with student application activities, about extents to which conclusions in the sciences may be uncertain - largely due to limitations of methods in the sciences. Much information about such uncertainties comes from fields of Science & Technology Studies (STS). Learning about such uncertainties can influence students' choices of personal and/or sociopolitical actions to overcome harms they perceive in relationships among fields of science & technology and societies & environments (STSE).
