How can we ensure that students apply
science to their lives?
ENGAGE is part of the Responsible
Research & Innovation (RRI) agenda
• To help teachers address contemporary science issuesand applications relevant to students
• To develop teachers’ beliefs, knowledge and classroompractice for ‘RRI’.
• To provide students a strong foundation to engage in science issues they will meet during their lives

Example: Ebola
Example: Ebola
60 inspiring DilemmasBan Coke?Health, EvidenceNow that scientists have discovered that sugar is like an addictive drug, pressure is building for action to reduce the amount of sugar children consume in soft drinks. What is the evidence for causal links between sugar consumption, obesity and disease? Is there enough strong evidence to ban sugary drinks?
Ebola: trial the vaccine?Genetics, DecisionsThe scenario is: scientists are fast tracking a vaccine to fight Ebola – will students volunteer to test it? They gather information from different sources, weigh up benefits and drawbacks and apply
what they know about genes to decide if it is a risk worth taking.
What does the fox say?Sound, ArgumentWe use the viral video to raise a serious question: can we understand animal talk? ‘Bowlingual’ detects a dog’s emotions by analysing a bark’s sound waves. Students look at emerging research to decide what else the technology can do. Can we translate the sound waves into human speech?
Grow your own bodyOrgans, ArgumentAs people live longer the demand for new organs to replace failed ones increases. Is it possible to build new organs in a dish from cells taken from the patient’s body? Does this new technology offer a good alternative to transplants. Will we be able to build new organs to replace damaged ones within 10 years?
