05 - Defend the Scientist

Choose a scientist or inventor from this list and create a presentation that defends his/her actions. You will have to determine what is so controversial about what he/she has done and include that in your presentation.

Include the following information:

  • Brief history

  • Controversial actions

  • Public response to the topic or scientist's actions

  • The opposition group’s point of view

  • The supporting group's point of view

  • How our lives are better because of what that scientist did

  • Negative implications surrounding the research that could potentially harm others

  • Any current or unresolved controversies that still surround the issue?

Your presentation can take the form of a Google Presentation, Prezi, video or essay. If you have another idea be sure to clear it with your instructor.
