Students can apply similar methods to collect information and ferret out sound data. Encouraging students to discuss the issues at home as well as at school helps too. Parents want and need to be involved. Children deserve opportunities to study, to understand, to reach conclusions about issues, even controversial ones. These values draw people together rather than separate them.
Technology often is the product of science.
Values influence how technology will be used. For example, it may be possible to provide low cost electrical power to a state through a nuclear facility which would be located on the state's major river. The facility would produce a substantial amount of nuclear waste. It would change the temperature of the water in the river for some distance downstream, ending the journey of the salmon and influencing what could live in the river. Values temper that which is technologically possible with that which is best for people and the environment.
