Using the templates, create a model of the human brain. You will need to color each lobe a different color, label each area with the name and function of the area, and have at least one picture of what that area does. If the area has multiple functions, you should have a picture for each function.

This is your terminology for the week. The document that say "Terms: A & P" is not required. It is just the terms for the week. If you want to use it to practice writing your definitions use it, but you don't have to turn it in. The worksheet is due on Thursday. Your quiz will be Friday.

Using the vocabulary words from this worksheet, write a short story that demonstrates your understanding of the terms.
Your story must include at least 12-15 vocabulary words from the list.
Underline or highlight each vocabulary word you use.
Use the words correctly in context (show their meaning through the story).
Your story should be long enough to include at least 12-15 terms appropriately. Divide the sections into as many paragraphs as needed to accomplish this.
Grammar and spelling count for the grade.
Be creative, but keep your scenario realistic to CPR, First Aid, or a healthcare setting.

INTEGUMENTARY SYSTEM: Google Slide PresentationDirections:
For your assigned scenario, you will create a Google Slides Presentation that addresses the following 5 items.
Identify why the situation is a problem (which function is affected and why it matters)
Propose a specific, tangible solution (must be detailed and actionable)
Explain how and why your solution works (use scientific reasoning)
Describe what could happen if the issue is not corrected long-term
Connect the situation to a possible disorder or condition
Slide Instructions:
You should have an introductory slide with your name, class block, and integumentary system problem.
Your second slide should be your scenario.
The next 5-7 slides should address numbers 1-5. You can do a slide for each if you like.
Your final slide is any references you used to help make your slides. This might be websites, journals, etc.
Presentation:
Should be a minimum of 8 slides (that includes the intro and reference slide).
The presentation should not be more than 5 minutes.
This can be used in your portfolio.
Presentations should be professional.

Choose a partner, and complete the body project worksheet. You can use your chromebook to help you identify the organs that can be found in each body system and cavity. Once you have completed the worksheet and shown it to the teacher, get a piece of butcher paper that is the size of the shortest person in your group. You will then have the shortest person lie down, and the other partner will trace that person. Once the person has been traced, you will draw the organs you have found, color, and label them. Be sure to include the cavities and quadrants as seen on the left side of your worksheet. 

Your worksheet provides further instructions. You will work on this on Monday and Wednesday, and it will be due on Thursday. Be sure to put your name on it, and at the end of each class roll it up like a scroll and place it on the bench under the window.

Watch the video. Use the video to answer the questions on the provided worksheet. The worksheet must be turned in first before you begin part 2 which is the body project.

Use the provided word bank to answer the questions on the quiz. All answers must be spelled correctly and should be in lower case. Not all words on the word bank will be used. 

Read the attached article and complete the questions. All answers must be in a complete sentence to be counted. 

You are going to follow the directions on the attached file to create your own "superbug"! Once you have followed all the directions to create your pandemic warning poster, you will either turn the paper over or get a piece of white paper and draw how you envision your "superbug" to look. It should be colorful and creative. I will post these on the wall Thursday!

Follow the instructions to answer each question. 

Essential Question:
You are working as a school nurse, and currently there is an outbreak of the “stomach flu” going around the staff and students. How could you promote good hand hygiene to prevent further spread of infection?


Using Canva create an educational poster that can be posted to help prevent the spread of infection. You need to include:
- Why hand hygiene is important
-When should you wash your hands and when hand sanitizer is appropriate 
- The steps to correctly wash your hands. (Put this in regular terms, not medical terms)
-Who should practice hand hygiene


Criteria for Evaluation

Content (40%)
Accuracy: All information about hand hygiene, germ spread, and infection prevention is factually correct.
Relevance: The content directly addresses the prompt's scenario and provides clear, practical advice for a school setting.
Completeness: The poster includes the following essential information:
Why hand hygiene is important (e.g., how germs spread).
When to wash hands (e.g., after using the restroom, before eating, after sneezing/coughing).
How to properly wash hands (the correct steps).
Who should practice hand hygiene (everyone—students and staff).
Design & Visual Appeal (30%)
Clarity: The layout is organized and easy to follow. Information is presented logically, and the text is legible from a distance.
Visuals: The poster uses relevant images, diagrams, or illustrations that enhance the message. Visuals should be clear, high-quality, and help to simplify complex information (e.g., a step-by-step diagram of handwashing).
Aesthetics: The poster is creative, colorful, and eye-catching to capture the attention of a school audience.
Originality: The design is original and not simply a copy of existing posters.
Clarity & Language (20%)
Conciseness: The text is brief and to the point. Avoid lengthy paragraphs. Use bullet points or short phrases to communicate information effectively.
Audience Appropriateness: The language is simple and easy for both young students and adults to understand. Avoid jargon or overly technical terms.
Tone: The tone is encouraging and positive, motivating the audience to practice good habits without causing fear or alarm.
Overall Impact (10%)
Effectiveness: The poster successfully communicates a compelling message that would likely motivate a school community to improve their hand hygiene.
Professionalism: The final product is neat, well-constructed, and demonstrates a high level of effort.

Research your assigned communicable disease to determine each link in the chain of infection. Then, use Google Drawings to create a poster of the chain of infection for the disease. 
Use the ENTIRE space to create a colorful chain of infection. 
Use words to describe each link and explain each link. 
Use pictures to support your information (at least 1 for each link)
In the middle, include common signs/symptoms/ of your disease


You may use your Chromebook to research as needed.
