Students develop their understanding of ethical concepts and ethical decision-making processes in relation to science investigations, codes of practice, and the use of scientific information and science applications. They learn about ethical procedures for investigating and working with people, animals, data and materials. Students use scientific information to evaluate claims and to inform ethical decisions about a variety of social, environmental and personal issues. They consider their own roles as discerning citizens and learn to analyse biases and assumptions as they apply ethical concepts when making decisions in complex situations.
