Character Education Lesson Plans

Character Lesson Plans	Student Examples
Genetic Engineering The students will gain an understanding about the need for responsibility and especially ethics in science. When science has or will have the ability to predict or engineer the genetic outcomes, the question of ethics and responsibility must come to the forefront of the science AND public awareness.
Oppenheimer and Chemistry In science, just because we CAN do something, does it mean we SHOULD do something?
Rocket Science: Should the U. S. go to Mars? After learning about balanced and unbalanced forces, students will then research famous scientist, Werner von Braun and others in that field. They will then research what it would take to send someone to Mars. The culminating task will be to hold a “talk show” introducing the scientist and a panel of congressional staff to discuss the impact and consequences of going to Mars.
To Hear or Not to Hear; That is the Question, if you can hear it! Students will research how sounds work, travel; how they are rated and the harmful effects of those at different levels culminating in a public awareness campaign.
