Now is possible to use virus to kill cancer cell's.
To better explain we need to teach chemistry and biology all together. Also with new discoveries in the life science, we can improve the health tecnology and this can lead to new discoveries

In my opinion, interdisciplinary teaching is the most important way in order to help students understand how the world functions and how things are related to each other. I think the basis of interdisciplinarity is language and mathematics as almost every other field of science uses parts of these areas. However, it is difficult for a teacher to be an expert in all fields at once and that's what makes interdisciplnary teaching so difficult for us.

I think that new discoveries in food and nutrition can be used in interdisciplinary way to explain how life science are in contact with each othe

Hector, Spain

2018-03-26 15:11:35 UTC

Interdisciplinar teaching is a great way to help students´learning.
New discoveries and its importance on real everyday issues will facilitate students to be motivated and openned for new knoweldge.

gilda_fiengo — 2018-03-26 15:12:45 UTC

Give more examples of how new discoveries in other fields can relate to and contribute to the advancement of life sciences.

Vasiliki Psaridou/Greece

psaridou — 2018-03-26 15:16:42 UTC

Nowdays using interdisciplinar teaching in class should be the new way of teaching in schools. However, I can't imagine how a simple teacher can imply such things into a class. I mean that if you want to make a difference in teaching you should use unterdisciplinar teaching as long as you are qualified to do so.

Cecilia Fontanella, Italy

ceciliafontanella — 2018-03-26 15:25:52 UTC

The future in the classroom I would like to see it completely different from traditional teaching, questionnaires, workshops, intersciplinary activities would be needed
for young people in the reflection on possible scenarios in the world of work and their lives in about 15 years, analyzing the steps and strategies that are part of their personal and professional future.
The ultimate goal should be the ability to understand and use the
future, to look at it differently, critically and consciously and so on
making it interact with the present, also to mitigate the negative impacts
of transformations and learn how to use the opportunities you have
close to the present.
The challenge must prepared to face and discuss
the future they would like to be part of: this should
be the role of education of any order and degree.

Interdisciplinary teaching gives the students meaning of what they are learning. They can see that whatever they are learning in their Science class is connected to their Math of LA somehow.
They need to understand they need to think critically to give some meaning to what they are learning in school.

Francesco Piccolo, Italy

2018-03-26 15:28:37 UTC

I think it is superfluous to reflect on the importance of interdisciplinarity, important since the time of the ancient Greeks and, perhaps, since man is a man; I agree that a teacher can not know all subjects, so you have to work in a team. A way to teach a new discovery in an interdisciplinary way could be, in the life sciences, to involve colleagues in Literature and Religion to have a broad perspective on the bioethical issues that these discoveries generally raise.

Estibaliz, Calgary

estivaz — 2018-03-26 15:30:20 UTC

Interdisciplinary teaching is essencial for the kids to understand that what they learn in class is connected to what they are learning in different subjects or what is more, to their everyday life. If they see the usefulness of their learning they'll be more engage in what they are doing and more motivated to learn.

Agnieszka, Poland

Interdisciplinary teaching in the natural sciences facilitates understanding of natural phenomena. It shows students that chemistry or physics has not been invented (to torment them ;)), but is used to translate the world around us.

Chiara G. Italy

chiara_garulli — 2018-03-26 15:49:21 UTC

Life science is in continuous evolution. New discovery from research world changes every day our prospective...

I think that a sentence could synthesize "our limit is only imagination"

This give us a big responsibility and it is a challenge...

About interdisciplinary approach, team attitudes is critical in research word, it is quite difficult in school contest, in my view...even if it is fundamental. Students should understand that each subject describe reality from a particular point of view... all are the results of human been need of knowledge...

We can look at this beautiful picture and think about star luminosity and temperature...but also how we felt looking at the stars...The object is the same, the point of view is different, together they are knowledge...

Lucia Italia

The advance of scientific discovery definitely improves the quality of life.
I think it is superfluous to reflect on the importance of interdisciplinarity

It was fascinated for me that nanotechnology has influenced the development of medical sciences

Gilda/Italy

gilda_fiengo — 2018-03-26 16:40:24 UTC

Many new discoveries have changed and improved our lives, for examples: Penicillina, pc, nuclear energy and so on.

As a teacher I use interdisciplinary way in my class and I imagine the others teachers too.

I think it’s important that:

· teachers introduce the new discoveries speaking how they have been used in everyday life.

· when teachers dealt with a new subject should ask their students in what way it could be used in other field to improve man’s life.

Every aspect of life has the imprint of science. The various modern inventions of science – the heater, the press, the pressure-cooker, and many other things of our ordinary use, have made our domestic life very happy and comfortable. Science has bestowed on us the gift of electricity. It grows and cooks our food ; it lights our homes; it cools us in summer and warms us in winter.

Silvia, Italy

silvia_scandura — 2018-03-26 17:58:35 UTC

All aspects of knowledge are interconnected and are evolving as we speak. In teaching, we have to take into account the fact that our textbooks are obsolete by definition. Our students should know that science and ethics are constantly moving forward: the nature of science itself implies that a theory can always be falsified.
All aspects of our life are influenced by science: this is something that we must alway make clear to our students!

Nicola, Malta

nixy_port — 2018-03-26 18:18:18 UTC

Its hard to even single out one recent discovery that can contribute towards the advancement of life sciences. However one recent one was the discovery of a genetic mutation that can protect people against the world's biggest killer Malaria. This advancement would apply to our subject of life sciences as it could be mentioned when topics such as viruses, DNA, genetic mutations and genetic engineering are covered. This could also be taught in an interdisciplinary manner as it could be tackled from a sociological or even an ethical aspect.

Macarena

2018-03-26 18:21:33 UTC

To me one of the most important fields where we can apply a multidsiplinary view of sciences is the environmental science.We can teach the most common problems affecting the environment by using knowledge o for different science such as Maths,Ecology,Biology,Chemistry....

Bojana, Macedonija

boenov — 2018-03-26 18:22:13 UTC

I think that modern life science research is becoming increasingly interdisciplinary. In
many settings, it is redundant to consider individual fields of study and necessary to think
about multi-skilled teams composed of numerous disciplines.

Marjeta, Slovenia

marjeta_decman — 2018-03-26 18:27:21 UTC

For me was very interesting to hear that most needed scientist for future are bioinformatics. I think in future will be a lot of new discoveries with lot of data that we will be able to use only with special computer tools. In science is most important apply knowledge from different science in society - knowledge must be useful.

Alexandra, Portugal

2018-03-26 18:29:06 UTC

Today, biologists and scientists from other areas have to work in articulation, in colaborative teams. Scientists have to work for society, pursuing a goal.

THE RELEVANCE OF NEW DISCOVERIES IN THE LIFE SCIENCES
New discoveries in science are made everyday. It is our mission to project it to our students.
Science is a multi and interdisciplinary area where scientists should collaborate .
CERN (European Organization for Nuclear Research), for example, has discovered a lot of new information that actually is a real contribution to medicine. Some of the new detection techniques are based on this technology.

Theodor L. Greece

theo_leftheroudis — 2018-03-26 19:09:44 UTC

The interdisciplinary approach to a subject is generally a difficult landscape to teach students, can not be taught in any of the known ways, it may be difficult to teach even the IBL method. We can give examples, let's say some relevant issues 2 or 3 teachers together and show how we can work together but beyond that I do not think we can do anything else.

Some examples could be neuroscience, the combination of the latest discoveries in electronics science with brain mapping and its functions.

The connection of the nerves with sensors - electronic and mechanical parts to assist handicapped people.

The recent storage of digital data in DNA format.

Gene therapy, cloning, data processing with supercomputers, and much more.

All this through a small video lecture and some working papers. Or, if there is the economic and technological potential of buying small-capacity devices such as virtual reality glasses, some simple open-source devices and arduino software with small signal sensors. All this in larger material 16-19.

In this collaboration we need to include other colleagues, such as historians, philologists and lawyers, to give pupils the dimension of the ethos of scientists and of science itself.

Carlo Italy

carlogino — 2018-03-26 19:15:19 UTC

I've always loved nanotechnology,
and I am always fascinated by the new videos. It is good to see that nanotechnology has influenced the development of the medical sciences

Ana,Spain

2018-03-26 19:30:48 UTC

The begining of nanotechnology was so far years ago, but it's important our students understand the recient power of this discipline and we must help them to know the

importance of nanotechnology in our society.
I loved listening him talking about the necessity

of working with Young people

2018-03-26 19:56:08 UTC

In my opinion it is difficult to connect society and science. But if a certain topic catches the attention of media, it will become interesting for the whole society. For example waterproof materials for the clothing industry.
If there is a way to connect science with the daily life, it is interesting for society, so if scientists want to share their work, they should find a way, how nonscientists can be interested for their work and how this connects both sides.

Voinea-Axinte Costica, Romania

2018-03-26 20:13:33 UTC

In Romania there is an optional course "MATHEMATICS AND SCIENCES IN KNOWLEDGE SOCIETY" - integrated interdisciplinary curriculum for mathematics, mathematics physics, biology. I consider a chance to modernize the education system.

Barbara, Poland

2018-03-26 22:53:08 UTC

Examples:
1. The methodology of research in one field of science may be transferred and used in another field.
2. IT tools, applications, and mathematics facilitate and accelerate or even allow the development of data in the natural sciences.
3. The combination of two or three sciences may result in a "happy coincidence". The history of science knows such examples.
Methods of interdisciplinary teaching:
1. Simultaneous conducting of lessons by teachers of two different subjects.
2. Change of teacher education methods, opening up to new technologies, applications, etc.
3. Open mind of teachers, willingness to learn throughout life / LLL /

Zvonko, Serbia

gzvonko62 — 2018-03-27 06:18:12 UTC

I think that one of the biggest discoveries is electric current. Because electric current makes our life more comfortable. Also, today's medicine, biology and many other sciences could not function without electricity. Everyone is closely connected.

Maria Luisa, Italy

2018-03-27 06:29:31 UTC

Undoubtedly, economy , statistic, mathematics, ict, engineering space technology, matter technology, are strictly interconnetted one another, and with life science as well as sociology and anthropology. In that way, every topic could be related with life science. Yesterday, with my scholars, I gave a question about discounts for buying clothes, and we finished to speak aboutweigh laws...

palmagarciahn — 2018-03-27 06:42:42 UTC

Palma from Spain
the advances in life Science is managing to save many lives. For the discoveries to have more relevance, a collaborative work between researchers, nutritionists, biologists, professors, is fundamental.

Pilar, Spain

2018-03-27 10:21:30 UTC

I believe that we must teach the new discoveries to our students, but without losing sight of the historical background, and the importance of these advances in all scientific disciplines. This will allow the students to know where we come from, where we are and where we are going. It is our job to bring science closer to our students, so you can be more scientific vocations.

Maria A. - Italy

maria_alfano53 — 2018-03-27 14:14:37 UTC

The advancement of life sciences draws on the expertise not only of biologists, but also increasingly of scientists from engineering, physics, mathematics, computer science, chemistry, and many other disciplines.
Advances in computational situation and modeling analisys achivied throung supercomputing opened the door the genomics revolution. The developing field of computational biology combines computer science, physics, and engineering with molecular and genetic biology to elucidate mechanistic principles that could lead to the rapid identification of candidate gene and cellular targets for new therapies

Daria, Poland

2018-03-27 18:53:16 UTC

Interdisciplinary teaching is very important. Children should notice that science is one and there is no clear boundary between biology, chemistry, physics, and mathematics. Teachings intermingle with your content.

Michaela, Romania

michaela_balint — 2018-03-27 18:56:13 UTC

The limits of our imagination are the space frontiers. We can travel with our mind far away, we can dare, we can accomplish our dreams than are not seems to be in our powers. Yet, we don't have to forget the history of the human kind. Too often amazing science discoveries were used in a wrong way. Do you remember nuclear energy? First we build a bomb then a nuclear power plant. It is up to us to be responsable. Some choices are hard to make, some decisions are difficult to take. We need to dream with our eyes wide open and both feet on firm ground. I believe that the human kind evolution ( as a society) must keep the pace with the advancement of the life science. And this is the main task of the education.

Noel, Malta

noel_harmsworth — 2018-03-27 21:26:16 UTC

Examples of how new discoveries can contribute to progress in life sciences are numerous. Just compare the microscope I studied with 30 years ago compared to the one my students use today connected via USB to a computer, producing sharper images that students can analyse more comfortably! However, probably the biggest change that is revolutionising life sciences just like it is driving the biggest changes in all other science disciplines is the use of IT. In life sciences IT can be used in the production of simulations, the enhancement of laboratory practices and computation of data especially where enormous amounts of data are involved.
As for ways in which this could be taught in an interdisciplinary way, probably the best approach is a thematic, cross-curricular approach. In Malta for instance there is a new core science syllabus being written right now that will be targeting mostly students who do not want to specialise in the sciences. Each topic will revolve around a theme. For example the theme would be ‘By the Beach’ and in the same topic students would learn about waves (physics), separation techniques (chemistry) and marine ecosystems (biology).

Milijana, Serbia

2018-03-27 22:21:58 UTC

It is a particularly interesting field in the data analysis economy, with the goal of creating interactive reports that would help in business decision-making. There are various methodologies and unique business indicators. Everything is based on linking knowledge in mathematics, statistics, economics, and so on.

yes it is like the way we are on. An interdisciplinan way, like Biology and Physics and Chemistry by using the infrastructure of the region. In our way it is additional and thanks to the colleges possible

michelapellizzari4 — 2018-03-28 08:49:06 UTC

New discoveries and its importance on real life can help students to be motivated and opened for new knowledge: for example the application of physical and technological knowledge into neuroscience allowed the application of SPET, PET, MEG and fMRI. These discoveries allow to study human’s brain: for example functional magnetic resonance imaging experiments identifies the contributions of the various areas implicated into a lot of process and the relationship of behavior to brain’s anatomy and physiology. We know the advantage and the limitations of these analyses, but we have to remember that a century ago we cannot have imagines of living brain. Also we know the benefit of these experiments for pedagogical strategies.

Natalia Grushko, Ukraine

2018-03-28 09:37:06 UTC

Nowadays, new discoveries are very important and there are a lot of examples of how they contribute to the progress of life sciences. The advance of scientific discovery definitely will improve our life and its quality. In my opinion, it's necessary to help our students to realise the importance of nanotechnology. They need to know how it influences to our society.

Andrea Checchetti

2018-03-28 09:55:02 UTC

Recently we are working to understand the effects of super hydrophobicity, to understand when the chemical way is replaced by geometry. The water or the water droplets seem to assume a different behavior depending on the surface with which they come into contact. The leaves of the Lotus Flower have a special surface structure that makes them extremely hydrophobic and keeps them constantly clean. This property, which with nanotechnology trying to play for other materials such as textiles and paints, is called lotus effect. On the contrary Petals of some roses, pur

The most important discover after the millenium is absulately "smart phones" the generation-X just use it and never wanted to know how it works. My first phone could only send text-message and this is the phone's the most valuable feature, in time we (generation-Y and -Z) watched the developments of the phone technology, as a consequence we are aware of the importance of the technology. New generation just use it (tecnology).

Izabela, Poland

2018-03-28 14:26:25 UTC

This generation is using technology form the beginning of their life. We need to use technology in our class, showing them that there is no boundary between chemistry, biology, physics, math ... They should know that they do not need to know everything, they should know where and how we can find
informaton and how we can use them. We need to learn students how they can be more creative how they can use recourses to invent something.

Today there is a generation born into technology. They should know that they do not need to know everything, they need to know where and how to find them.
We can link developments in the field of health to technological developments and genomic studies in laboratory studies.

Mustafa BOZOĞLAN, Turkey

mdbozoglan — 2018-03-28 18:38:33 UTC

our students need to know how to catch fish. our students should be able to produce solutions using information. we should be able to easily download some drug researches to the college level. our students should be able to investigate ways to prevent disease. For example, biologists, chemists, physicists and engineers can all work together in a work on alternative medicine. describe the nanotechnological applications that occur in a multi-faceted way. all disciplines must work together in space studies.

Helen Mihalatou, Greece

helensefer — 2018-03-29 06:10:55 UTC

I think that today, more than ever, research in life sciences needs a strong ethical orientation. The enthusiasm of new discoveries and the possibilities that arise from them have a major impact that drives our expectations as scientists in never before seen areas of research and innovations. I agree with Dr. Macip, that “our only limit is our imagination”. For that reason I support his belief that society has to engage science.
I strongly believe that Biology teachers should keep up with all new discoveries in this area of science and should feel obliged to keep their students aware of the critical discoveries and applications that are emerging for the society. Prompted by the school curriculum in Biology we have plenty opportunities to discuss with our students on the outcome of research and its possible benefits for the society from the point of view of the end user or relating it to the possibilities that are offered for work in the area of science industry.
Last week, motivated by the cloning of primates that was recently announced by the scientific community, I had a very long discussion with my students on whether we should clone humans or not. It was a very interesting event in the class. Students were very active participants, seeking for more information in order to build their own perspective and format their point of view. However, due to the curriculum, I do not have the freedom to extend such activities within the strict school timetable. Taking also in mind the unbelievable speed of new information flow, I think that we need a brand new perspective on how to teach and support life sciences curriculum so as to motivate our students in engaging to modern research and innovation activities and applications. Informed and engaged students are more likely to support and reconstruct, as active citizens of tomorrow, the ethical frame and the orientation in research and innovation.

Technology is essential today in all areas of life, including education. Collaborating together between teachers of different disciplines is important. With the science colleague, I am carrying out a research activity on climate change. Next year we would like to work together on the topic of cloning, science and religion compared in order to enrich students on a topic that is strongly discussed today

Shirin Mammadova, Azerbaijan

shirin_sultan — 2018-03-29 13:19:17 UTC

In my opinion, mainly development and innovations in Technology lead to new discoveries in field of science. Now it is easier to collect data from nature by mean of digital devises. Science as a subject taught at secondary school provide more opportunity to develop inquiry based mind of students and allow them trough range of subjects as Biology, Chemistry , Physics and Computer Sciences build connections between them.

Sophie, Austria

2018-03-29 13:22:59 UTC

An important aspect of teaching life sciences is the impartation of the scientific language that is used to talk about phenomena. Working with this language can be difficult for some students, especially for those who have another first language than the majority has. Discoveries in training scientific language in school can therefore be very helpful and connects different disciplines.

Vesna, Slovenia

2018-03-29 13:58:02 UTC

An example is the development of robots which can make life and work easier for people. This could be taught by connecting computer science, informatics and robotics with biology and physics.

Silvia, Spain

smaymo — 2018-03-29 15:04:25 UTC

The first example that comes into my mind is Bioinformatics. Data handling applies not only in Genetics, but also in Evolution, Medicine or model simulations.

The second one has to do with some classes I share with the Philosophy teacher of my school. We choose a subject, for instance Xenotransplantation, and our students study the ethical implications of the many advances to generate human compatible animal tissues.

Rishu,India

2018-03-30 04:26:02 UTC

The importance of new discoveries is crucial for our daily life.
Yesterday a friend told me about the difference in a surgeon a few years ago and nowdays that is done by laser. This improvement is based on new technology and we, as teachers, have to make our students to love new discoveries, of course without losing ethic point of view.

Paola, Italy

paolacannadabartoli — 2018-03-30 08:12:35 UTC

Teaching and learning molecular genetics can become a very useful tool to debate about racism; this kind of activity involves philosophy and history teachers too.

Bioinformatics can be used to make students “see” evolution by comparing DNA and AA sequences of evolutionary conserved genes in distinct species. Bioinformatics could also explain the advantages of drug repositioning. Howevwer, performing a real in silico experiment requires collaboration with a research centre. This kind of activity gives the opportunity of discussing bioethics topics, such as use of animals and humans to experiment on a new drug or therapy.

Gaia, Italy

gaialombardi69 — 2018-03-30 09:07:50 UTC

The use of Big Data for bioinformatics (sequencing and comparing DNA) and biomedicine (laser surgery, bio modeling for rare disease as craniosynostosis).
Science and Philosophy has many points of connection when ethic questions are involved, and is important to drive students to implement and use their own citical thinking.

Petros, Greece

2018-03-30 09:28:57 UTC

Until recently, computing was programmable and based around human-defined inputs. Cognitive systems learn with experience. They interact with humans naturally to interpret data, learning from virtually every interaction and proposing new possibilities through reasoning, to support human decision making. In the previous example, the cognitive system is pulling together not only disparate sources of information about the student, but also patterns learned from interactions with other students and the outcomes of their experiences. This amalgamation of information from experiential sources and interactions helps in making the optimal recommendation for the particular situation—a recommendation to the teacher, who can decide whether or not to follow it.

I think that the use of technology and digital tools in a correct and adequate way is a great support for research in all areas of life sciences, namely in genetics, biomedical, among others. However, the bioethical sense must always be clear so that the limits are not exceeded and there are no constraints or impediments.

Anca, Romania

The fast development of the gadgets (used them by everyone) is an everyday chalange for us, as teachers. Is a real necessity to be connected with the new tehnologies and programs. Also, when is possible the use of them in the learning process, is an added value.

Anita, Croatia

anita_simac — 2018-03-30 19:08:41 UTC

The points that stuck with me from the video are : our only limit is our imagination; science needs to work with society; just because something can be done, ethics needs to lead us in whether it should be done. All of these points are vital. Science is moving at such speed, but we have to be guided by our ethics. Science can be and should be used for the good of the human race.

Tanja, Slovenia

brinje_raziskovalci — 2018-03-30 19:19:06 UTC

New discoveries in archeology - estabished links between spieces are not so sure anymore. We can use some examples in our teaching process. We can underline the need of ethical use of scientific knowledge. I learn about new discoveries from my children - actual university students. They must explain to me in popularscientific way so I can understand. Simply facts I use in my class to show trends in life sciences.

Dorothea, Vienna

a00902838 — 2018-03-30 21:00:13 UTC

It is important to connect the advancement of biotechnology and bioinformatics with molecular medicine to react to the needs of society. Teachers should inform themselves and their students about these advancements and the resulting new ways of treating and diagnosing diseases. To allow their students to gain deeper insights, teachers can perform simple life science techniques like DNA isolation and detection from fruit in open labs and organize for their students the opportunity to participate in a small project in a research lab.

Viktorija, Slovenia

2018-03-30 22:53:47 UTC

New discoveries in natural sciences are crucial because they affect the everyday life of people, animals and plants. In particular, research in the fields of genetics, biomedicine in biochemistry influence the development of understanding of certain diseases and the efficiency of their treatment.

I think that is very important that scientist - teacher is protagonist in this innovation for life Science.

Anna, Italy

prof_deruvo — 2018-03-31 13:18:24 UTC

My first impression has been how research go fast. I studied biology at university 20 years ago and I found difficult to follow new discoveries. Most of the people has a vague idea about it. My students are from 11 to 13 years old and I teach them maths and science in general. How can I show them what is going on in the research? For my elder students we could discusse together with the history teacher about science and ethics.
But what students don’t consider about science is fantasy. It looks too often that there is only a write way to do things. History can helps to change this limiting idea.

Nina, Slovenija

I used to work at the Jožef Stefan Institute in Ljubljana, where we were very involved in nanoparticles. I admit that sometimes I'm afraid where all this science can lead. There are positive effects and, unfortunately, also negative. In medicine, nanoparticles are welcome especially in the field of diagnosis and treatment.

The most appropriate solutions to complex problems in different areas of human activity are interdisciplinary. A good example of this is the control of pollution by microorganisms: bacteria that consume toxic metals and eliminate nanometer gold mining have been discovered. The practical application of this discovery involves biologists, ecologists, geneticists, chemists and technologists.

Life sciences can be enrich and grow by the discovered in other fields as Astronomy. For example: On April 19 this year scientists at the European Organisation for Astronomical Research (ESO) found the best candidate for extraterrestrial life so far. The super-Earth named LHS 1140b was found in the habitable zone of a dim star 40 light-years away from Earth. It receives about half as much sunlight from its star, LHS 1140, as the Earth does from the Sun.

The interest in our current and future eating habits is growing. The use of the new technologies, especially biotechnology, is being introduced in the food sector and becoming as a new food culture. Biotechnology is a new concept recently installed. Biotechnology is not considered in itself as a science but as a multidisciplinary area that includes knowledge of the application of scientific principles and applied sciences (such as biology, chemistry, engineering and genetics, etc.) with high use in agriculture, pharmacy, food science, forestry and medicine, and processing of materials by biological agents to provide goods and services which allows to get a benefits for human being. There should be taught through modules in which several teachers of different subjects would br involved

Discovery in a particular field goes hand in hand with the other. It may not be directly related to it but is indirectly related to it in a different way.
Discovery in chemistry can contribute to the advancement in life science as in the chemical reaction the gas produced my be dangerous and can lead to thorough study of life science to improve the health of the living beings.

The mentioned ideas in that video are very clear and interesting , focuses on a main point that there is no limitation to sciences expectations and results as well it is based essentially on imagination , and collaboration with other fields and society specially . In our case, it will be the interdisciplinary, in the video the researcher focuses on an important point by saying “ that something can be done does not mean it should be done “ so sciences know no limits we have to go ahead and be guided by our ethics , so science should be used in the right way , to give solutions to humanity problems not to spoil their life , taking an example from our curricular : biological agriculture , our students learnt how to prepare a compost from domestic waste while learning the steps to follow for a such work, and also the utility of the nettle for the biological fight, there we learned to our pupils the good exploitation of our domestic waste how to avoid the excessive use of pesticides by producing products derived from nature

I believe introducing students to new technologies used in industry could be very interesting to them. It could inspire them to pursue STEM careers as they are aware of what the job might entail rather than just approaching it from a theoretical perspective. Students can be taken on field trips to learn about these technologies and their application.

CRISPR is a gene editing tool that is being used to change DNA sequences. it allows the exchange of a couple letters of an organism’s genetic code and its replacement with others for a specific purpose. It is making a great impact on biomedical research.
It might be taught interdisciplinary with maths and stats, revealing the number of swaps and their outcome (pros and cons)

Finding a solution to the social challenges of the world is one of the great challenges for science. New tools such as nanotechnology where materials reduced to the nano-scale can show surprising properties.

For example, the micro and nano sensors that detect gases, also detect the presence of pesticides in food with the advantage of being able to perform measurements "in Situ". The carbon nanotubes.

Scientists are working for society, to better understand the nature of the human being. This makes science research a great shared ethical commitment of all: Science, technology and society.

As we are talking about sharing responsibilities, we should include new discoveries in the textbooks/ curriculum(middle school onwards) and have a forum where children can share their ideas / queries about those. This will also help reduce the gaps between education and R&I. In the forum children and school educators can also share ideas of innovation and research. Afterall, we are talking about inclusiveness- right?
