Enter the debate on vaccines. Small groups research topics related to vaccine safety in the last lesson in a unit of five. In the process of the research, team members learn how to determine the validity and credibility of a website. The teams create a presentation to share their findings about the issue with a scientific analysis. After hearing results on the findings, pupils debate whether vaccines are a benefit to society.
