Science and Society
Scientists are
objective and look
for explanations of
the materials and
phenomena which
surround us

Activity-Look at the image of a scientist at
work (Figure 1). Can you think of 5 words
that describe the work of this scientist?

Activity-Examine the statements about science in your school. Do
you agree or disagree with each statement?
At school my experience of science is that it:
is boring,
is an active and practical subject,
always has a right answer to find,
is about investigations,
is fun,
is very theoretical,
contains a lot of mathematics,
is about learning facts and figures,
is something I am good at,
is about testing to see if a theory is right or wrong,
is only for clever people.

Science and Society
Society makes
decisions on
controversial
questions / issues
by listening to the
opinions of experts

introduces the ideas of
‘contracts’ between science and
humanity.

Century Science
Philosophy of Science Acceptance that Scientific
knowledge is fallible (faillible)

Today
Desire to use Science to
solve global issues
![Page 28: Science and Society - Académie de Versailles€¦ · Science and Society Can you think of examples? Human cloning Choosing the sex of your child Abortion and disability . Science](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022060609/606063515c68694d9c2557bf/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Science is expected:
To give definite answers
To give ultimate truths
Not to make mistakes
but……...
![Page 29: Science and Society - Académie de Versailles€¦ · Science and Society Can you think of examples? Human cloning Choosing the sex of your child Abortion and disability . Science](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022060609/606063515c68694d9c2557bf/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Conclusion
Science is: Subjective
Not always right
Can help us think and inform our decisions
Society needs to: Have realistic demands
Be literate in about science
![Page 30: Science and Society - Académie de Versailles€¦ · Science and Society Can you think of examples? Human cloning Choosing the sex of your child Abortion and disability . Science](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022060609/606063515c68694d9c2557bf/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Conclusion
There may need to be a new contract between science and society. What will this contract look like?
