Title: Engineering and Animals: Exploring the Interactions in Society

Objective: The objective of this assignment is to help 15-year-old students understand the relationship between engineering and animals in society. Students will explore how engineering has impacted the lives of animals and how animals have influenced engineering.

Instructions:

  1. Research: Students will conduct research on the different ways engineering has impacted the lives of animals. They will also research how animals have influenced engineering. Students can use books, articles, and online resources to gather information.

  2. Case Study: Students will choose a case study of an engineering project that has had an impact on animals. They will analyze the project and its impact on the animals involved. Students will also consider the ethical implications of the project.

  3. Presentation: Students will create a presentation on their case study. The presentation should include information on the engineering project, its impact on animals, and the ethical implications of the project. Students can use PowerPoint, Prezi, or any other presentation software.

  4. Debate: Students will participate in a debate on the topic of animal testing. They will be divided into two groups, one in favor of animal testing and one against it. Students will research and prepare arguments for their respective positions. The debate will be moderated by the teacher.

  5. Reflection: Students will write a reflection on what they have learned about the relationship between engineering and animals. They will consider the ethical implications of engineering projects that involve animals and how society can balance the needs of animals with the benefits of engineering.

Assessment:

Students will be assessed on their research, presentation, participation in the debate, and reflection. The assessment will focus on their understanding of the relationship between engineering and animals, their ability to analyze the impact of engineering projects on animals, and their ability to consider the ethical implications of these projects.
