<br />
<u>Introduction </u><br />
<br />
In the last few years, people have become increasingly aware of the many
advances in all aspects of scientific research. There is an abundance of
information on the Internet about new scientific discoveries involving cells, such
as cloning and stem cell research, as well as answers to interesting questions
about how the cells in our bodies work. People who write about scientific topics
need to learn about the topics they are investigating in detail. They also need to
use a writing style that is appropriate for the place where their pieces will be
published. Writing articles for newspapers or magazines is different from writing
for the Internet. What are some of the latest scientific discoveries about cells that
are reported on the Internet? What types of scientific questions about the cells in
the human body are answered on the Internet? How would you summarize this
information for publishing on the Internet? In this WebQuest, you will explore new
research involving different types of cells, read about how cells in the human
body work, and write a summary of one of the topics you researched that is
suitable for Internet publication.<br />
<br />
<u>Task </u><br />
<br />
Your job in the WebQuest is to learn about current research involving different
types of cells. You will investigate how scientists studying diverse scientific topics
are adding to the current body of knowledge about cells. You also will explore
questions and answers about the roles that different cells play in our bodies. You
will answer a set of questions to demonstrate what you have learned. Once
you've explored information to increase your knowledge of developments in cell
studies and how cells work in the human body, you'll write a summary about one
of the topics you investigated. The purpose of this summary is to write about a
scientific topic using a style suited for posting on a Web site.<br />
<br />
<u>Process </u><br />
<br />
Read through the following set of questions before you begin your Internet research. As
you explore each site, look for answers to the questions.<br />
<br />
1. What do researchers think is one cause of memory impairment related to
growing older? What does new research show that may be able to help
reverse this process?<br />
<br />
2. How might fat cells be able to help people with spinal cord injuries?<br />
<br />
3. How are frog eggs being used in research involving human cells?<br />
<br />
4. What are Schwann cells? How are they affected in multiple sclerosis
patients?<br />
<br />
5. What role do cells play in preventing the stomach from digesting itself?<br />
<br />
Next, visit the Web sites listed to find more information about another type of recent
research involving cells. Keep in mind that not all Web sites are written specifically for
students. Some of what you read might be challenging. Look for information that will be
useful in completing this WebQuest.
Write a summary of that topic that includes more than the answer to one of the
questions. Your summary should be written to appear on a Web page about cells, life
science, scientific research, systems in the human body, or a related subject.<br />
<br />
<u>Resources </u><br />
<br />
Look at the Web sites given here to find information that will help you answer questions
about cell research, and to gather information to use as you write your summary.<br />

<u>Conclusion </u><br />
<br />
In the process of completing this WebQuest, you've read about recent research
involving cells. You've found answers to questions about how the cells function in
the human body. In the process of answering questions, your research gave you
further insight to current and ongoing scientific study about cells. You've also
enhanced your writing skills by preparing a summary about one of the research
topics you investigated. The summary you wrote gave you the opportunity to
understand more about the scientific content as well as present the information in
a style compatible with publishing on the Web.Scott Kopfhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11512494155520293163noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2549273459544548750.post-13618115157440547592018-02-07T11:38:00.000-08:002018-02-07T11:38:11.945-08:00Osmosis VideoFollow the link to watch the video on Osmosis.

<b>Introduction</b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Diseases are among us!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Protect Yourself!</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
This document will guide you through your Webquest on a
discovery of understanding Infectious Diseases and Preventions.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You will read to gain an understanding
of Infectious Diseases, Decode important terms in the war against disease,
Listen to prevention techniques, Warn others, and much, much, more. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
You will not go on this journey alone.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You will be teamed with one partner to
reach your goal of understanding “What is Infectious Disease” and “How can it
be prevented”?</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
<a href="https://www.blogger.com/null" name="Task"></a><br />
<b>The Task</b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
After learning about Infectious Diseases, you will learn
about Infectious Disease preventions and inform others by:</div>
<ul style="margin-top: 0in;" type="disc">
<li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-list: l1 level1 lfo1; tab-stops: list .5in;">creating
a PP slide used to inform students at Fanning Middle School of Infectious
Disease Prevention Methods.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>These slides will be assimilated with other slides and presented in
classrooms around our school.</li>
</ul>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<hr align="left" size="2" width="100%" />
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<a href="https://www.blogger.com/null" name="Process"></a><br />
<b>The Process</b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
To complete this journey and warn those around you, you will
need to follow the steps below carefully.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>It is essential to first educate and understand and then share it with
the world around you. </div>
<ol start="1" style="margin-top: 0in;" type="1">
<li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-list: l0 level1 lfo2; tab-stops: list .5in;">First,
follow this link to the Mayo Clinic to begin learning about Infectious
Diseases.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Once you reach your destination,
write the definition provided for Infectious Disease and note the causes and
how they are spread.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><a href="http://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/infectious-diseases/home/ovc-20168649">http://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/infectious-diseases/home/ovc-20168649</a></li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-list: l0 level1 lfo2; tab-stops: list .5in;">Second,
watch this video from Discovery Education.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It is about 2 minutes.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In your notes, record your discovery of another name
for Infectious Diseases and begin making a list of causes and
preventions.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You may want to
use Cornell Notes as an organizer: <a href="https://app.discoveryeducation.com/learn/videos/D026C489-A4B0-4433-BFCF-80E6A6AC643B?hasLocalHost=false">https://app.discoveryeducation.com/learn/videos/D026C489-A4B0-4433-BFCF-80E6A6AC643B?hasLocalHost=false</a></li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-list: l0 level1 lfo2; tab-stops: list .5in;">Third,
gain access to these coded words at the link provided.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Print this page and keep it with
your notes after you have completed Unscrambling these words and reviewing
the definitions: <a href="https://apps.nlm.nih.gov/againsttheodds/pdfs/ss/wordgame.pdf">https://apps.nlm.nih.gov/againsttheodds/pdfs/ss/wordgame.pdf</a></li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-list: l0 level1 lfo2; tab-stops: list .5in;">Fourth,
now you are ready for some true detective work in the war against Infectious
Disease.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Choose one of the
Case Studies listed below (there are four, but only choose 1).<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>After your investigation, follow
the fifth link below to complete your “Case Study Notes”.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Print this document and keep it
with your notes and Unscrambled Words.</li>

<li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-list: l0 level1 lfo2; tab-stops: list .5in;">Sixth,
Follow the link to the Infectious Disease Preventions brochure.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You are now ready to assist the
CDC in the prevention of Infectious Diseases.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This is an important document as you warn and inform
others.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Once you have read
the document in full, ask your teacher to assign you a prevention method
from the brochure: <a href="http://www.cdc.gov/ounceofprevention/docs/oop_brochure_eng.pdf">http://www.cdc.gov/ounceofprevention/docs/oop_brochure_eng.pdf</a></li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-list: l0 level1 lfo2; tab-stops: list .5in;">Seventh,
Time to inform your peers.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>You will create a PP slide of your preventative method – ONLY 1
SLIDE.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The slide needs to
include:</li>
<ol start="1" style="margin-top: 0in;" type="1">
<li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-list: l0 level2 lfo2; tab-stops: list 1.0in;">The
prevention method title (what is the action).</li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-list: l0 level2 lfo2; tab-stops: list 1.0in;">A
written description of the prevention (remember your PP training).</li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-list: l0 level2 lfo2; tab-stops: list 1.0in;">A
picture(s) to assist in describing the preventative method.</li>
</ol>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-list: l0 level1 lfo2; tab-stops: list .5in;">Last,
after you have completed these 7 steps on your journey turn in your notes,
Unscrambled Words document, and Case Study Notes (remember to put your
names on the documents).<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Then, email your PP slide to <a href="mailto:marvin.kopf@slps.org">marvin.kopf@slps.org</a></li>
