  Explanation.

Context

The purpose of this lesson is to provide a wrap-up and review of the course. It gives the students a chance to synthesize different topics together and encourage them to try and apply them in the real world.

Before

1.1 Introduction and When Is Science Relevant

This lesson harkens back to the utopia discussion from the first lesson. We'll look at the posters students made in the beginning and explore them in more detail using all of the tools we've developed over the course of the semester.

After

14.2 Scenario Planning

The wrap-up is not actually the last lesson of the term. We have one more section on scenario planning, a problem solving technique which encourages creative long-view thinking. This odd ordering is a result of scheduling constraints in the weekly plenary structure. As such, the coming scenario planning lesson has a little bit of review and synthesis as well.
