The Health Effects of Cell Phone Use

In the Science, Technology and Society Position Paper tasks students will explore issues related to the impact of science and technology on society and the environment. Students will search the internet for relevant and credible scientific data. Based on the data they collect, they will make claims and support them with evidence. After taking a side on the issue under debate, students will participate in a class debate, in which they will argue their position and listen critically to other students’ presentations.  A culminating activity of this project will be the writing of a short, five- paragraph position paper, describing and supporting their opinion on this issue.
