Science and Ethics Worksheet

Every day science brings us new discoveries and innovations that push the boundaries of what we know. And as exciting as these discoveries can be, they can often raise questions about how this new information should be applied. How do we know the right thing to do in a situation that's never been encountered before?
This worksheet and accompanying video introduce students to the ideas of deontological ethics and teleological ethics. It presents them with a range of scenarios and challenges them to explore them from different perspectives.

The worksheet includes:

  • Space to take notes from the video.
  • Comprehension questions that build in complexity.
  • Answer key for questions that are not specific to individual students.
  • Six pages of questions.
