This booklet, designed to be used in high school classrooms, concerns the technological, economic, and political contexts of the fluorocarbon-ozone depletion controversy. The curriculum is divided into three phases: the scientific dimension, which is a pure science analysis using lab-classroom tools and methodologies; the philosophical dimension, which deals with questions of truth, ethics, and legislative implications; and the career education dimension, which examines the variety of occupations and different areas of knowledge involved in resolving the controversy. A selected bibliography of reference materials is listed, and the appendices include magazine and newspaper articles concerning the controversy. (MH)
