October Sky As we view the movie complete the packet as directed. In addition to the questions keep in mind the set of standards. The main ideas from the standards are: Prototype development and testing Intended benefits/unintended consequences Adaptive vs assistive bioengineered products Be prepared to answer periodic questions relating to these points as we view the movie.

Compare and Contrast On the back of your sheet create another graphic organizer. The two sides should be labeled “Engineering/Design Process” and “Scientific Method”. Compare and contrast the two processes using what you now know of each. Complete the chart as shown.

Writing Consider your cell phone. What was the original intended benefit of that technology? What are some unintended consequences of this technology? Write two paragraphs exploring these questions.
