Grade 9 - Stem Cell Criteria D - Reflecting On The Impacts of Science Template

This document provides a template for a student to complete an essay on stem cell research. The template prompts the student to introduce a specific medical problem that could be addressed through stem cell techniques. It then asks the student to discuss cell differentiation, the different types of stem cells and research, and which technique would be used for the given problem. The template has sections for evaluating the strengths and weaknesses of the chosen technique, discussing relevant global factors, and assessing the success of the research. It concludes by asking the student to make an argument for or against using this stem cell approach and to give their personal opinion on using stem cell research to solve medical problems.
