This video gives students a sense of where ethics and science interact. It discusses questions of ethical obligations to science, to the public, and to themselves. It also mentions specific ethical considerations when dealing with humans in a hospital or clinical trial setting.

Since this video takes a more philosophical turn, it mostly considers the Knowledge Sense skills. This video features many scientists from different disciplines, so it’s pretty flexible in terms of where you might choose to put it in your lesson plans.
