Instructions
Over the course of this class, you have learned about many important scientists and their scientific discoveries. Based on what you have learned and the article “The 50 Greatest Breakthroughs Since the Wheel” that you read earlier, answer the following question:
What importance does the topic of your news story and the question that you developed in Project 2 have to you and to society as a whole?
You will be answering some similar questions as part of Project 3. It is recommended that, in addition to entering your answer to the question below, you keep a record of your response to this question for use in your project.
ARTICLE:The 50 Greatest Breakthroughs Since the Wheel – The Atlantic
Your third and final project in this course is a presentation, and this activity is an opportunity to get comfortable working with presentation software, such as Prezi or PowerPoint. Feel free to use either software, but if you are unfamiliar with creating presentations, use the Presentation Supporting Resources document below to learn more before getting started. Create a slide that includes answers to the questions below and any graphics you feel would make the slide more eye-catching. You are required to submit a single slide, but you may create additional slides if you wish.
How does understanding the science behind the topic and research you have chosen benefit you? What is the advantage to you, and potentially those around you, of understanding the science behind the issue?
How might finding the answer to the specific question you posed in the question development worksheet in Project 2 affect others around you?
