Decisions for Today and Tomorrow: Student Guide. Issues in Science-Technology-Society. A Multidisciplinary Approach to Problem-Solving and Critical-Thinking.
Iozzi, Louis A.; Bastardo, Peter J.
This student guide was designed to be used with senior high school level classes as a supplement to existing programs in the areas of science and social studies. Each of the 12 chapters included in the guide may be used independently or may be combined into a separate course on the relationships between science, technology, and society. The separate chapters deal with: (1) technology; (2) decision making in a high-tech world; (3) genetic engineering; (4) artificial intelligence; (5) nuclear energy; (6) acid precipitation; (7) hazardous wastes in the environment; (8) food and agriculture; (9) organ transplantation; (10) transportation; (11) robotics; and (12) technology and decision-making. Each chapter of the student guide contains independent reading assignments, discussion questions, activities, and simulations. (TW)
