The Pew Research Centre in Washington DC has just released the results of its survey of what adults in the USA know (or think they know) about science. It appears that very few of those surveyed had any real understanding of waves, and almost no understanding of boiling. But the saddest result of all, I think, is that about one third of those surveyed could not correctly interpret a graph.
You can do the 12 question multiple-choice quiz yourself online at:

When you finish (it won't take long) you will then be taken to a page that gives you the results of your quiz, and puts this in relation to the official survey results.
