| Program Description | The Centers for Disease Control provide health and life saving information about epidemics that may concern our nation and citizens, but what are scientists studying and discovering. By starting with the basics of life and learning more about some of the microscopic organisms that affect our cities and well-being, we will become more knowledgeable citizens. Current issues in the news will guide our discussion and debate of the topic. | |
| Program Format |
1. Students will be introduced to real scenarios involving epidemiology. 2. The science will be discussed better understood. 3. Students will participate in an activity related to epidemiology. 4. Participants will debate the ethics of the real world scenarios. |
|
| Objectives |
Participants will understand that epidemiology involves understanding the nature of the agent and its containment. Participants will begin to comprehend that epidemiology is a public health field dependent on the health of populations, not individuals. Participants will identify at least one individual need that is in direct conflict with a population's needs regarding infection containment. Participants will identify one situation in which what is best for a population is unclear based on available information. |

State Standards Biology 1 Standards 1.15 Understand and explain that, in biological systems, structure and function must be considered together. 1.16 Understand that and describe how the maintenance of a relatively stable internal environment is required for the continuation of life and explain how stability is challenged by changing physical, chemical, and environmental conditions, as well as the presence of disease agents. 1.20 Recognize that and describe how the human immune system is designed to protect against microscopic organisms and foreign substances that enter from outside the body and against some cancer cells that arise within. 1.43 Understand that and describe how organisms are influenced by a particular combination of living and nonliving components of the environment. Listening and Speaking 9.7.1 Summarize a speaker's purpose and point of view and ask questions concerning the speaker's content, delivery, and attitude toward the subject. 9.7.7 Make judgments about the ideas under discussion and support those judgments with convincing evidence. 10.7.7 Make judgments about the ideas under discussion and support those judgments with convincing evidence. |
