What Is a Paradigm?

Discover how big ideas in science have changed the way we see the world. Using examples from astronomy, chemistry, and biology-such as the development of atomic theory or our understanding of respiration-this class explores how scientific thinking evolves over time. You'll learn what a "paradigm" is, how new discoveries can lead to a "paradigm shift," and consider how this concept might apply beyond science to other areas of knowledge and understanding.
