“Science gathers knowledge faster than society gathers wisdom.”

In an ever-changing world, students will begin to question the nature and merit of progress and address questions about whether or not progress is always beneficial to the individual and the world. The unit will culminate in an inquiry based project that allows students to explore an area of their own interest as it relates to science and progress.
