The activities in the project allow the students to explore the scientific and ethical impacts of cloning on individuals and society. Students read a case story to frame the many issues and perspectives involved in both partial and whole body cloning of humans. The site contains a tutorial in which the students read a story about a boy seeking out a doctor's help to clone a a new brain for his recently dead brother. The students identify issues and perspectives about the case and complete online surveys as well as print out a questionnaire that they administer to someone not already participating in the project. In this way the students reflect on their own thinking and gain a better idea about their community's ideas.
Students can collaborate with students in other classrooms with an online discussion board.
Student groups are then given the task of predicting what would happen in the story two years later. Links to the email addresses of the US White House, Senate, and House of Representatives allow student to take action and share their perspectives. Teachers are given sample rubrics, suggested project timetables, and links to the online forms and worksheets. A table correlates standards for science, mathematics, technology, and literacy to the activities in the project. Adobe Acrobat require for viewing PDF files.
