Citizenship : Unit 20: What's in the public interest?
http://www.standards.dfes.gov.uk/schemes2/citizenship/cit20/ Citizenship at key stage 3 (Year 7-9) Unit 20: What's in the public interest? This unit provides a template for studying a public issue that has a science dimension and is both contemporary and controversial. It could be taught within citizenship and/or science. It may be helpful to liaise with the school science department when planning this unit. Pupils also learn about the different ways the media covers topical issues, problems and events, and the effect this can have on our understanding and opinion of them. Pupils build on their scientific knowledge and understanding. They use scientific ideas and models to explain phenomena and events, and to understand a range of applications of science. 1. What is the issue we are addressing? 2. What points of view are there about the issue, and why? 3. What is the relevant science? (How can animals be protected against infectious diseases?) 4. What should be done? How can we take responsible action and have a say? 5. Review - what have we learnt? |
