“Science & Society” projects
• Interactive, curriculum enhancing teaching session Animal Experiments: Cruel and Unnecessary? Playing God: Use and abuse of human genetic information Olympics special: performance enhancing drugs Creating super humans: Curing disease or enhancing
performance? Other non-ethics topics

Playing God
• Who thinks that this method is good?• Would you choose to prevent a disability in
your child?• Would you choose to abort your child because
it was disabled?
Preimplantation genetic diagnosis (PGD)

Student reflections pre-session
“Will undoubtedly have challenges…… KS4 pupils can be disruptive and unenthusiastic when faced with a ‘science lecture’…… many interesting and easily relatable aspects to engage…… interactive as possible……. level of detail required to make my presentation educational without overpowering the pupils........ Effective time management and a thorough plan.

“seriously doubt that an educational development or science and society could provide the same intellectual stresses and challenges as a lab based project”
“should treat these alternative project topics with a great deal of caution, irrespective of whether the students "want" this sort of thing”
“having marked Education/Science and Society projects in the last 2 years they do have the same potential for intellectual input/analysis as lab based projects”
