Big Screen Science: Law of Averages
Produced by secondary school students, this Teachers TV resource explores the issue of kidney transplantation in a short drama made and acted by a group of 14 and 15 year old students. It can be used to stimulate debate about the applications and implications of science.
With the help of professional filmmakers and scientists, the students based their film on an ordinary family whose lives are suddenly changed when the son is diagnosed with kidney disease and requires a transplant.
Following the film, the students describe the process they went through, from coming up with the original idea with their science teacher, to working on the script and taking on the challenge of acting in the film.
