A critical part of science that endures the ages is the formulating of a scientific question, and the experimental method.

Knowing the difference between anecdotal evidence, and a randomized controlled experiment is vital.

It is easy to get tied up in fine details. However, the basic "language" of science is necessary. Certainly this would include basic mathematics, algebra, and perhaps calculus. Chemistry, the Periodic Table, some of the basic compounds and naming conventions. Weights & measurements, and moles.

However, the details of individual reactions can always be looked up on the web.

Biology should cover basic unicellular and multicellular organisms. Some about the human body and physiology, muscles, blood, brain, nerves and neurons, liver, etc, as well as a discussion about "germs", pathogens, and non pathogenic. Perhaps also a discussion of drugs, drug metabolism, half lives, excretion, etc.

Physics should include some of the basic measurements, vectors, and the basic Newtonian laws of gravity, momentum, centrifugal/centripetal forces, etc.

Computers should be seen as a tool, just like a hammer and screwdriver would be tools for a carpenter. Programming is interesting, but not applicable for the majority of the people.
