Wicked problems and the nature of science

1080 is a wicked problem. Wicked problems often involve a mix of environmental, social and political issues. They do not have yes or no solutions – they have outcomes that are better or worse.

Wicked problems offer rich, real-life contexts for developing students’ critical thinking and problem-solving skills, as well as their science capabilities.

They are also a valuable context in which to develop students' scientific literacy. Being able to understand and evaluate scientific evidence helps students make informed decisions about social, scientific and political issues.
