For your final project in the class, you will work in groups to do an assessment of a scientific claim. The point of this class is for you is to learn enough about science and the scientific process to be able to make good decisions as an individual, parent, friend, neighbor or even as a citizen. This project will be a good way to gauge what you have learned.

You will work in grops to create a one page flyer that will inform and educate members of the public about a particular scientific claim. There are 4 options for your flyer:

Diabetes: it can be about scientific claims about diabetes prevention programs.

GMO's: it can be about scientific claims about the benefits or risks of GMOs

Antibiotics: it can be about the scientific claims about antibiotic resistance

Climate Change: it can be about scientific claims about climate change
