Question 1: Discuss the social, economic, environmental and ethical issues surrounding the
scientific idea
Short paragraph explaining the scientific issue introduced by the articles.
Clearly state the positives and negatives associated with the scientific issue to give a
balanced review.
Cross reference between the four areas rather than repeating information. Linking the
information is key to higher marks.
To achieve a high score you must show a thorough understanding of the scientific issue and
use information and data from the articles to support your discussion.
Question 2: Identify the different organisations/individuals mentioned in the articles and
research how they may have an influence on the scientific issue.
For each organisation (taken from the articles) identify if it is local or global and the impact it
can have on the scientific issue.
What is the background and purpose of the individual or organisation in relation to the
issue.
How much influence does the individual or organisation have on the issue at hand.
Question 3: Discuss whether article 3 has made valid judgements.
In your answer you should consider:
How the article has interpreted and analysed the scientific information to support the
conclusion/judgements being made
The validity and reliability of the data
References to other sources
Key terms:
Reliability: the extent to which an experiment, test or measuring procedure yields the same
results on repeated trials.
Validity: the investigation measures what it has set out to measure, other similar studies
have the same findings, outcomes of the investigation improve the field of study, the study
has been peer reviewed.
Consider how valid the article is: who has written it? what is their background? Could they
be bias? Justify your answers.
