Reflection: Have your views on toxicant regulation changed after completing the WebQuest?
Throughout this WebQuest, you have probably realized that are many competing views on what should or should not be considered when regulating a substance that is found to be toxic. Have your views been solidified or changed since beginning this project? After being presented with new information, sometimes our ideas change if the new information has more validity or reliability than our previously held ideas.
Congress often has to make difficult decisions when multiple parties have an interest in a particular topic. In this WebQuest, you were shown how four different interest groups have variable views on how BPA, a known toxicant, should be regulated. Through researching and presenting evidence to the Congressional panel (your classmates) you were better able to support your argument and later come to a conclusion as to which position you agreed with most.
Great Job on your Presentation!
