Nuclear+Proliferation+Science+Outline

Katie Diesner
Students will first gain a scientific understanding of nuclear warfare and the resulting human health consequences by examining historical and current events. Then, students will be challenged to integrate this information with knowledge from History and English classes to address the issue of how the world should use its nuclear capacity.

KEY: Blue = History Reference Red = English Reference
