This will be the first of four research
projects required for the 6th grade year. Each student will choose
a disease they want to learn more about and have an interest in. |
Students will be familiar with the
similarities and differences between these. They will create graphic
organizers to show this: example would be a Venn Diagram and a concept map. |
Students will be introduced to the AIDS
virus and how you can get it. This is a sexually transmitted disease so we
will be discussing this using correct terms and facts. If you have concerns
about this please contact me. |
