Ethics in Science (this resource)
How This Resource Works:
Stage 1: Students instantly engage with a dynamic warm-up activity, matching ten key vocabulary words with their definitions. This interactive exercise primes students, setting the stage for a deeper understanding of the scientific method.
Stage 2: Students read the informational text, either independently or in small groups.
Stage 3: Comprehension is assessed through six multiple-choice questions, ensuring students have grasped the fundamental concepts before proceeding.
Stage 4: Students explore the content further by engaging with a case study that provides real-world examples of the scientific method in action, allowing them to apply their knowledge.
Stage 5: Another set of six multiple-choice questions checks their understanding of the case study and reinforces learning.
This resource includes:
1 informational text covering the scientific method
10 essential vocabulary words with definitions
1 in-depth case study (The Tuskegee Syphilis Study: How Not to Do Science)
12 multiple-choice comprehension questions (6 per reading), complete with answer sheets
Optional answer strips for student responses
Versatile Uses: This resource is ideal for classroom settings, home learning, group work, independent study, or as a go-to tool for substitute teachers. It fosters collaboration in small groups or centers and is designed to be an engaging and effective tool for mastering understanding of the scientific method.
To ensure durability, we recommend laminating the texts, vocabulary matches, and comprehension sheets for repeated use in the classroom.
Good luck as your students embark on their journey of scientific discovery!
