How has the media influenced the perception of science
This activity involves looking at the science topics in a number of TV and cinema films, highlighting the basic scientific principle and researching various sources to find out if the science is factually based and actually possible.
1. Select a maximum of five TV/film titles. It will not be necessary to view them. Information about the content of the films can be found on the video/DVD covers and from websites giving some critical feedback. Some useful titles are provided in the Student Book.
2. List the film titles and provide a very brief outline of the science topic involved. Provide details of the claims in the film. Put this into a suitable table (an example is shown below).
3. For each topic, conduct research into the possibility of the claims in the film being true and accurate.
Use the table of research to present your work in a report style document, detailing each film in turn and including appropriate referencing of research material. Include your research sheets. 3-4 pages.
