Students love reading about unethical experiments. It is a fun way to introduce ethics in general.

Thank you, Heath. A good collection.

This is an interesting site to show students about experiments that are NOT ethical. We discuss why they are not ethical.

Bandura - social behaviours in toddlers. The complete and original experiment.  

I have used this website with the students and they loved it. They could understand the ethics much better with these examples. 

I used this list to go through the most controversial experiments. Students loved it and really got into it.

Some fun during teaching and learning Psychology! Experiments and games to test your memory. 

On page 4 of this article there are some good examples of counteracting extraneous variables and really understanding biases. I think articles that summarize experiments like this are good for students to understand the importance of all the little details that could potentially confound their results on the IA. 

Nice resources on research and esp experiments ib_psychintro

Extensive slide show and walk through of the Stanford Prison Experiment. It also has some nice video clips from interviews and first person accounts embedded too.

Although this is an A level site, I have found it very helpful.

This is from TED Talks and is Jill Bolte Taylor discussing her experience of having a stroke from the perspective of a neuroscientists. Interesting talk that my students really enjoyed.

This is my all time favorite for ethics and experiments. We saw the whole movie. I think it is very valuable since it is made with the actual kid who suffered the impact of unethical experimentation, lack of parent will power, and a scientific context that thought new it all.

hello Gonzalo! My students love this case study. They always become shocked after hearing this story and want to learn more about ethics in psychology. Thank you for this link!!!

Thank you Aneta, It is a magnificent example of how science, naive parents and ambition can really make life miserable....all in good intentions! (beware of good intentions! hahahaha)

Also a good website for research ethics with human subjects

Game about Split Brain. The web contains other fun games that helps understand Pyschobiology concepts. 

Instructional series on Introductory Psychology. Lots of videos, different themes!

All kinds of videos that can be useful in class

Although these videos are older, the information is still useful. I have been showing them to my students. They feel like Zimbardo is using this series to redeem himself for the Stanford Prison Experiment. :)
