Students explore the dynamic relationship between science, technology, and society.
In the activities, students become research scientists who have discovered a compound that will improve memory. Students learn the implications of this discovery by watching a dramatic simulation, role-playing as experts, analyzing data, and weighing courses of action. Working in groups of four, students must determine the best use of their new discovery. The consequences of their decisions are revealed in one of three videos that are tailored to each different decision. Reproduction by any means without written permission is prohibited.
