This lesson focuses on endocrine disruptors: chemicals that mimic the body's own internal hormone communication system. Students are introduced to the endocrine system, they study what we know and do not know about chemicals that disrupt this system, and they consider the kinds of choices that individuals and societies have with regard to endocrine disruptors. Finally, they are asked to consider how what they know and don't know influence the decisions that they and others might make.

Describe a new brain imaging technology that could be developed in the future. Discuss strengths and weaknesses of current technologies and what scientists still need to learn about the brain.
