Concussion Risk Simulator Part 1

Students conduct research to discover the dangers associated with concussions and why it is an important public health concern in this integrated lesson.  They will explore legislation and public policy aimed at mitigating the risks of sports-related head injuries as well as different ways technology can be used to prevent, diagnose, and assess concussions among athletes.  This is the first lesson in a series of three where students will investigate how public policy and technology influence the identification and response to potential sports-related head injuries.  In part 2, students will plan a simulation or model to demonstrate how technology and public policy influence our response to sports-related head injuries, and in part 3, students will program their simulation or model using Scratch.
