Vetted resources educators can use to teach the concepts and skills in this topic.
| Name |
Description |
| Homeostasis and Exercise: | This fun activity highlights the relationship of exercise to cellular respiration to gene energy. |
| The Dangers of Sticky Blood: | Students will research the dangers of high blood cholesterol levels in humans. The prevention of high cholesterol and lowering of high cholesterol to improve health of individuals will be presented in an informative online newsletter. The newsletters will be utilized to raise community awareness of the issue within the school by printing out the final products and displaying them in the school hallway. The online tool Smore will be used for constructing the newsletter and can be shared on social media to reach those that are not in the school community. |
| Evaluating Claims About Cancer: | Students identify claims about UV exposure presented in a selection of media items, then design, execute, and report the results of an experiment designed to test one such claim. |
| Acting on Information About Cancer: | Students assume the roles of federal legislators and explore several Cell Biology and Cancer website resources to identify reasons to support or oppose a proposed statute that would require individuals under the age of 18 to wear protective clothing when outdoors.
After completing this activity, students will:
- understand that science can help us improve personal and public health,
- be able to explain that good choices can reduce an individual's risk of developing cancer and can improve an individual's chance of survival if he or she does develop it,
- understand that ethics brings to public policy debates two presumptions: that we should protect individual autonomy and that we should protect individual and societal health and well-being,
- recognize that ethical values sometimes conflict in public policy debates about strategies for reducing the risk of cancer, and
- understand that it is possible for people to hold different positions on a controversial topic and still participate in a reasoned discussion about it.
