Hi.
This week I'd like to talk to you a little bit about how to use some of these
ethical issues and the framework that you've already, hopefully,
had some time to practice with with your students.
I'd like to frame that around a discussion of some of
the new standards that we've been developing here in the United
States called the Next Generation Science Standards, and focus specifically on
one part of those, which is, are the science and engineering practices.
which are going to tie us into,
this idea of, of something that scientists
do, which is create evidence based arguments.
And that's works really with that thining about these ethical issues.
It's also in the United States we have very high degree of focus on the common
core literacy standards and I'll briefly mention the
standards that apply to this kind of work.
and then think about some of the actual
things that you could do with your students
in terms of framing their examination of some of these ethical issues.
Really briefly, our next generation science standards came
out of a process, long process, that began with.
The, a creation of a framework for K through 12 Science
Education, and this was a consortium of a lot of people.
mostly run by the National Research Council
which eventually led to the release in
the spring of 2013, of the next generation science standards.
And the big, the big ideas here and you can go and you know, both the
framework and the standards are available free online
and I really urge you to go investigate them.
The basic idea is that the three big categories of ideas that are incorporated
into the next generation standards are science
practices, so what do scientists and engineers do?
