Definition: To filter by passing through a screen.

Alright class, settle down, let’s take a look! You’ve got the dictionary definition – “to filter by passing through a screen” - and that’s a good start, it’s true. But what does ‘screening’ really mean? Think of it like this: imagine you're sorting apples, red and green. You’d use a sieve, wouldn't you? It lets the small bits through while keeping the bigger apples behind. That’s screening! Screening is all about selecting or separating things. It’s choosing what goes through to the next stage, and what stays behind . Here are some ways we use it: Medical Screening: Doctors might screen for illnesses – like checking your blood pressure or doing a quick exam – to see if you need further testing. Movie Screening: A preview showing a film before its official release. Job Screening: Employers look at resumes and skills to decide who’s best suited for a role. It's about carefully looking through something, like a filter or a selection process, to find the best bits! Does that make sense? Do you have any questions about how screening works in different situations?
