Objectives Explore the responsibility of Scientists to publish honest and scrutinised work in the good of public interest. Outcomes 3: Discuss responsibilities of Scientists. 5: Explain problems that can be caused by the misuse or mis- publication of science 7: Evaluate the dangers of Science and theories being published lacking evidence.

Task Research and find one article on- line suposedly using Science to back it up. What are the problems with the article? What possible dangers could it cause? Outcomes 3: Discuss responsibilities of Scientists. 5: Explain problems that can be caused by the misuse or mis- publication of science 7: Evaluate the dangers of Science and theories being published lacking evidence.
