Teaching Resources

Physics and Ethics Education Project

PEEP

www.peep.ac.uk is an interactive website and virtual learning environment for secondary school science teachers and their students. It is a teaching resource developed to highlight the moral, ethical, social, economic, environmental and technological implications and applications of physics.

PEEP aims to:

• provide up to date and balanced information that students can use to develop their arguments when debating or discussing ethical issues in science
• raise science teachers’ confidence in dealing with “difficult” topics, uncertainty and debate and facilitate students’ and teachers’ discussions of these issues
• enhance students’ learning of the science topics involved
• help equip students to evaluate many sided arguments and come to their own conclusions.
