I. Learning Outcomes: at The End of This Activity, The Students Should Be Able To

The document outlines four final activities for a class on policies and laws for the technological era. [1] For the first activity, students will research national policies addressing ethical concerns with technology and summarize their findings in a table. [2] The second activity introduces nanotechnology, having students read about and discuss it, then illustrate a nanotechnology product. [3] In the third activity, students will discuss nanotechnology's impacts on areas like health, ethics and the environment. [4] Finally, students will research recent nanotechnology innovations in different countries and present their findings in a portfolio.

Final Activity 1: Policies and Laws for Technological Era.

(McNamara, p. 84.)

I. Learning outcomes: At the end of this activity, the students should be able to
identify national policies or laws that protect the well-being of the person in
technological advancement and ethical dilemmas through research.

II. Instruction:
1. Work in pairs. For sections with odd class size, 3 persons in a group is allowed.
2. Research for national policies or laws that address the ethical and moral
concerns in the technological era.
3. Briefly summarize your research output by completing the table below:

I. Learning outcomes: At the end of this activity, the students should be able to:
1. understand what nanotechnology is by reading an article and viewing a video
presentation.
2. illustrate or design a product or output that is made up of nanomaterials.
3. discuss the impact of nanotechnology in various aspects (health, environment,
economy, ethics, et.) of the society through a philosophical discussion; and
4. conduct a research on the recent innovations or advancements in nanotechnology in
different countries.

II. Instructions: Article Reading and Video Presentation

1. Read the article on the article entitled, “Understanding Nanotechnology,”


(https://www.understandingnano.com/nanotech- applications.html).
