This guide’s quiz has four questions; one matching each objective.

Life Stages

Describe male and female reproductive structures, including what they produce and factors that can cause infertility; list key stages of development after fertilization and impacts on a woman’s body during pregnancy; and provide characteristics of a newborn, including structures and behaviors.

Aging

Describe physical changes that occur during puberty, as well as menopause and andropause; indicate how aging impacts organs within a variety of organ systems and explain how aging is more than just organ health; and provide global perspective on end-of-life conditions for older adults.

Non-Infectious Diseases

Provide examples of non-infectious and infectious diseases including the global conditions that increase the risk of disease occurrence; list the steps required for a “normal” cell to become a cancer cell and explain the difference between a benign and malignant tumor; and outline how hormones regulate blood sugar, explaining the relationship of blood sugar to type I, type II, and gestational diabetes.

Parasites & Pathogens

Describe different types of intestinal worms, including how they enter the human body and their impact on human hosts; list examples of arthropod vector species, and the diseases they transmit to humans; and provide examples of diseases caused by fungi, protists, bacteria, and viruses.

Journal Assignment #11

Introduced in the Aging section of this guide:

Journal Page #12: Life Stages

Science is limited to observable phenomena, meaning there needs to be direct or indirect evidence that something has occurred. Direct evidence is what you collect with your own senses; indirect evidence is an artifact of something that happened in the past like a photo or a fossil. In this journal assignment you are collecting and assembling indirect evidence of life stages.

Step #1: Collect evidence of life stages.

This includes reproduction/pregnancy, infancy/childhood, puberty, adulthood, and/or aging. This could be evidence of your own life or someone you know like a family member, friend or community member. You could select a single life stage or show a breadth of life stages. Examples of evidence include photos, receipts, clothes, writing, awards, school items, products, and much more.

Step #2: Assemble the forms of evidence into a form that tells a story.

Many researchers work with artifact (object) evidence and their selection and arrangement of evidence is used to convey information. Arrange your artifacts/evidence to convey a message. It could convey science knowledge, information about your personal life stages, and/or make a more general point about human experience.

You are turning in a journal page with:

A. your assembled life stage evidence.

B. A description of the message you are trying to convey. This could be in writing, captioning on photos, or in a video.

Journal Assignment #12

Introduced in the Non-Infectious Diseases section of this guide:

Journal Page #12: Glucose Regulation

For this journal assignment you are teaching about glucose regulation. Describe blood glucose regulation when glucose levels would be rising after a big meal, and again when glucose would be falling long after a meal. Include these terms in your description: pancreas, liver/skeletal muscle, insulin, glucagon, glucose, glycogen. This can be a well-written narrative or a labeled sketch.

You are turning in a complete and accurate representation of glucose regulation that includes:

what happens when glucose levels are rising after a meal.
what happens when glucose levels are dropping long after a meal.
the vocabulary: pancreas, liver/skeletal muscle, insulin, glucagon, glucose, glycogen

Journal Page Directions

To be completed after taking the quiz on Canvas.

Upload your two journal pages to Canvas. If the files are really large, it may help to host it on a webpage and submit the web link to reduce upload time.

All three assignments are due by Friday 11:59 p.m. P.T. Once you have taken the quiz on Canvas and uploaded your two journal pages, you have completed this guide.
