Bioethics 101 provides a systematic, five-lesson introductory course to support educators in incorporating bioethics into the classroom through the use of sequential, day-to-day lesson plans. This curriculum is designed to help science teachers in guiding their students to analyze issues using scientific facts, ethical principles, and reasoned judgment.
These lessons represent a "best of" compilation from our popular Ethics Primer. Through the use of case studies, ethical principles, decision-making frameworks and stakeholder role-play, students are fully supported in learning how to justify an answer to an ethical question.
If you’ve been looking for a structured way to introduce bioethics into your classroom, this resource is for you!

"Arguably the most important unit of biology. Students will soon be making ethical decisions related to their own lives and to the political system."
"I use this every year with all levels of students and it is equally thought-provoking and engaging for all."
