BI per 1 22-23-Per 1 Assignments

Hello all!!

Please submit your ranked choices for what topic you want to do for the final. 
**PLEASE do this asap so that I can start on the list!**
Note: If I don't receive your 'wish list' by noon on Saturday, you will forfeit your place in line (aka your number) and I will go on to the next person who has turned in a list. Then, on Monday, you will have to choose from among what's left. BEST case is to choose TODAY (Thursday) so you don't forget etc!! 
Note that the due date 'time' is really NOON, not midnight. If your list is marked late... you lose your spot, so don't delay.

Turn in written proposals here please.

1. Brainstorm (and write down) answers to the bullet points in step 1. Pay particular attention to the second, fourth, and fifth bullet. 
2. Explore 1 (or 2) of the campaigns linked under step 2. 

For each plan consider the variety of interventions described. How does each plan target the particular disease or illness (education, early screening, prevention, treatment, or research)? Note and be prepared to discuss. MAKE SURE not to duplicate any campaign already being explored at your table (so talk to each other!)
3. Brainstorm until you come up with an idea or two that someone else at your table is also interested in. NOTE: you may not choose any of the 5 linked and also no more sexual health in teens this time. So think a bit outside the box, and show evidence that you brainstormed by giving ideas you didn't end up using! 
**You may work in groups of 2-4 at your table, but no duplicate ideas, so check with me when you think you have an agreement. Also, YES, you MUST work with at least one person at your table, and NO, we are not going back to our regular groups yet or mixing tables unless approved by me (and not your normal partners)**
4. Start thinking about your intervention plans/possibilities (see step 5). What might be effective? How could you design a solution or intervention(s) to help? 
5. Answer step 6 in pltw (how is the body affected by the problem?)
Start designing! Prepare to FILM your promo/campaign pitch. Practice with mics, etc to make sure you can operate the tech and be heard. 

1. Please do steps 1 and 2 as written. May work with your group here, but ONLY for this first part.
2. Find the articles mentioned in step 3.  NO Duplicates allowed! (by yourself). Also make sure your articles are less than 2 weeks old.
3. Do the rest of 4-10 as written, including the article organizer, except virtually on the maps I post on Google slides below.
4. Answer CQ 1-5

13. 
Read 5.1.1 step #23 and follow the link in that step. List 4 recent MMWR entries.
14. Complete an MMWR describing your case. (1 page is fine BUT follow all the directions found in step #24)
15. CQ #2

5. Answer Investigative Findings #3-4.Check with me about your current hypotheses after you finish Evidence Log #1.
6. Look over Evidence Report #2 and add to your Evidence Log.
7. Does this evidence change your initial hypothesis? If so, how? If not, why not? 
8. Answer #5 on the Investigative Findings sheet.
9. Take GOOD notes on the Epidemiology Study Design resource.
10. Complete the practice problems packet. Compare answers in your group and one other group. 
11. Decide as a group whether a case-control study or cohort study would be better to determine risk in your case.
12. Design a study to determine risk for  your case. See step #19 in pltw. Make sure to answer all the parts of that prompt in your study.

1. Intro notes on the Mission intro and your (case A or B) 511 intro section. 
2. With your table, read over the illness complaint worksheets. Note similarities and things that you think are worth looking into. Discuss with the table. Complete pltw steps 1-4.
3. What is your first impression about what is happening with these people? What evidence is leading you in that direction? (Answer 1 and 2 on the Investigative Findings worksheet.)
4. Look over the material in Evidence Report #1 ONLY. You will need to research some findings to see what they mean, and include your findings on the Evidence log sheet. (Do this for the FIRST evidence report. Do not move on yet to report #2)

Please post for each group:
-A summary of your notes/ideas about their models/ideas/presentation
-A proposed letter grade you would give
-Why you would give that grade
-A ranking, 1-5, you would give. 

Fill out the evaluation of how you think your group worked. 

Here are the rubrics. Also you can upload your assignment to this spot.

Please submit one more time, here... Hopefully with all edits done!

5. In your own words, describe the difference between Emergent, Urgent, and Non-urgent re: triage. (see pltw #5)
6. Read through the 16 patients given. Fill out the patient data chart (as a group is OK here).
7. Answer the RQ from #6
8. Put the patients in order (triage them!). Defend your triage order with a sentence or two. (on the data chart is fine)
-Be prepared to discuss/debate with classmates.

1. Intro Notes
2. Read and answer #1 in pltw, and discuss with your group. 
3. Brainstorm (NO RESEARCH ALLOWED HERE, just your ideas) your group's answers to #3
4. Now, do the research to answer #4. Was anything significantly different/surprising to you?

1. Answer question at #2 (a-b)
-Look over the resource in step 3. 
2. Change/add to your answer for part b above if you can. (if you have a very short answer for b, you NEED to add something!!)
3. Complete 'scavenger hunt' pages. 
4. RQ at #5
5. Find an article (just ONE each) that has to do with emergency medical services (so, is relevant to this unit, please). Make sure yours is different from the other people in your group, and print it out. (at least the first page of it). Please also make sure that at least one is from a sci journal type resource. 
6. Summarize your article. Anything interesting/relevant to your project?
7. CQ 1-3

1. Please print a copy for me of your poster. (due Friday)
2. Also print a copy for your group, which you should mark up to show edits you need to do to your poster.
3. Next week, combine your/my edits and change your poster (if needed)

Here, we will skip some things. 
1. Start down at #4. You can choose things related to ERs, or (most likely) NOT related to them. 
Once you have brainstormed a few things, write in NB your answers to 4-5. ALSO put them on a yellow page. On your yellow paper, list them in order of your rankings. (in your nb, make sure they are numbered)
2. Choose two problems from a DIFFERENT yellow page. Brainstorm a solution with your partner. Write in NB and put a star on their YP so we know you will talk about it. 
3. Answer RQ under #8. 
4. CQ 1-2

1. Read and take notes on the case in the opening case brief. What occurred/why?
2. Actually write in the concerns of most people regarding emergency room visits. (you can abbreviate, but get the gist of each one.. and yes, I prefer if you write it IN A NOTEBOOK rather than type in this case.) (Note to those of you turning in loose papers- you will only get 2/3 credit this semester on notebook checks without a notebook!) 
3. With your group, brainstorm and decide: which are most/least concerning to you? Rank them in order of what you find most to least troubling. 
4. Share your order with other groups and defend your answers. Did any of your rankings change?
5. Note that you will need to address several of these issues in your own design. Put a star in your notebook (or highlight) those you feel you want to or can address in your innovative design.

1. Read through and complete the Patient Choice worksheet. Make sure to explain your choices!
2. After class discussion, reflect: have any of your choices changed? If so, which and why? If not, why not? 
3. What bioethical issues do you find most interesting and why? 
4. What bioethical issues do you find most challenging and why? 

Choose two articles from those at your table. Everyone at your table must pick a DIFFERENT articles, and please do not choose two articles about the same thing.
Read carefully. Highlight parts you may need to return to and look up to understand fully (some things are explained later in the articles). 
For each article, fill out the Analysis. You can use the Google doc provided below, or use the paper version.
Once you have met with 'article alike' people, write a reflection in your notebook (one to two paragraphs):
-anything others brought up that you hadn't considered?
-was your opinion changed in any way?
-if not, why not?

1. Read the 'Principles' journal article (titled 'Link' below). Take some notes. Specifically, note the 4 main principles/concepts of bioethics, and in your own words define each.
2. From that article, list other concerns bioethicists consider. Why do you think these other things are not part of the 4 main concepts?
3. Read the original and modern version of the Hippocratic Oath, and answer the HO reading page. 
4. Read over the Ethics-Key Concepts page, and then obtain and complete the flu simulation page. (not linked here, I will give you a copy). 
5. Note the ways in which these decisions can be made/factors considered in your NB. Post class discussion, would/might you change your decision? Explain.

As you are finishing your project, please document as noted in PLTW:

Identify the criteria that your product must meet. Make sure to include the following.
1. Function: How will your proposed design do the job it is intended to do?
2. Form: How will your product be designed to match its intended function?
3. Safety: How will your product ensure human safety?
4. Reliability: How will your design ensure that the product continues to function properly?
5. Biocompatibility (if applicable): How will you ensure your design will be compatible in the human body?
6. Aesthetics (if applicable): What have you designed into your product that will make it attractive to the potential customer or patient?
7. Write a basic design brief for your product. Refer to the Design Brief Resource Packet from Activity 3.1.1 for guidelines. 
8. Brainstorm with your partner different design ideas that will meet the criteria. Take notes in your laboratory notebook for each category.
9. Evaluate all of the design ideas and as a team decide which approach is the best. Make sure to keep cost and ease of production in mind as you pick the best design (e.g., what materials and tools will be necessary to build your product? How complex will your product be?)

10. See rubric. Make sure you 'check all the boxes'! 
-Do one last search to make sure your product doesn't already exist. 

Remember that you will be evaluated on the idea, the research, the design, the marketing, AND the presentation as a whole. Take the time to PRACTICE any tech, or any spiel, with your partner(s). Your presentation should be between 6-10 minutes. 

OK! Use your gel results to explain what actually happened in your samples/lab. Please note any problems that might have occurred to cause your results (unless your results ended up correct! And, if you think that it is correct, explain how you know.)
This should be a paragraph or two, because you should explain what happened/might have happened in each module. 
Finally, answer all ten conclusion questions from 612. The paragraph(s), please submit here. The CQ I will look at in your notebooks when we return from Thanksgiving. 

Use the topic you have chosen in M3 PYP. Once you have settled on a potential solution, do a literature review:

1. First, check out the websites in PLTW step 2. Make an outline in your NB about what you need to do/include in a lit review.

2.  Use the SRS (digitally-attached below or on paper-on cart near the table with the printers) to complete a lit review on your proposed solution to your problem. (Use the sources/ideas provided in step 5 to complete your research... make sure to include info on all the bullet points in step 4 of PLTW if applicable)

3. Make sure you list what you are finding (ie, patents, journal articles, testimonials, etc) when you do the research. If  you CANNOT find info on anything similar in patents, or journals, please let me know b/c missing those items will ultimately affect your grade! (HINT: you SHOULD be able to find a good amount of research/patents/other info)

* For once, I DO care that you are careful to cite your sources. There's a helpful link here to use if needed.

4. Last chance... affirm that the topic you've been researching is still the one you for which you will present a solution.

5. Answer the Conclusion questions.

With a partner, come up with at least 3 (more would be even better!) feasible ideas of problems/design issues with biomed tech or any biomed problem that you feel needs a different/new solution. Be specific. Think through what would make a good solution for those problems. Add your issues to your notebook and the communal yellow page (1-5 words only, you can explain later)

1. With your partner, do some preliminary research. What products/solutions are already available for your problem? Maybe do this for your top 3-5 ideas, and then...
2. DECIDE which one you will try to solve with a NEW solution/product. 
PLEASE take some time here and consider. I think this might be the most important step TBH b/c many groups get halfway to a solution only to find it's already on the market/being developed, and then have to start over! 
3. Give your rationale in terms of why you chose what you did, what your preliminary ideas are for novel solutions, etc. 
4. Explain any you had to dismiss and why.


*Note the due date... I am expecting that you and your partner (or partners) will have a topic before next class! (I recommend groups of 2 or 3. If you have a group of 4, it needs to be a product that justifies another person working!)

3. Take notes on the 'Design Process'. Please be somewhat brief but include the main points.  (found under 'resources' but NOT the Design Process Resource Packet') (yet)
4. Next, look at the Design Process Resource Packet. With a partner (or by yourself), pick one thing to research. Choose something different from the other group at your table.
5. Follow the instructions in pltw steps 11-12 AND make a 'yellow page' of your design solution (meaning, yes do sketches and notes in your NB but also prepare a yellow page)
-Gallery walk and ask questions/make comments on other presentations. 
6. Prepare to defend or respond to your comments. Include any comments you think are most significant in your notebook.

Read the mission statement and intro to 3.1.1
1. Explain why John and Earle are mentioned here. 
2. For your assigned product, complete step 3 in pltw. Look over the history of the product (or what was done before the product existed) in your research.
-Share your research findings with at least 4 other groups and listen to their research. Note any interesting things you hear in your NB (at least a couple things should stand out to you!)

5. Draw the new plasmid from #4 here. Explain the RE digest you would do to show your results (which RE would you use? Why?) Draw what the gel would look like (to prove you have what you are trying to make). ALSO show what religation WITHOUT success would look like on the plasmid and the gel. 
6. Explain the RE and ligation steps to complete #5. (what SHOULD happen). Draw ALL POSSIBLE products (in case of errors. Note the hint here!) Label each possible product. 
7. What RE(s) would you use to determine which of the possible products you actually have? (show how to prove the right AND the 'wrong' products). Don't forget to answer that last part- why would we NOT use a double digest here?
8. CQ 1-3

To prepare for this huge lab, you need to read over the whole protocol. (It's a lot). 
Next, you need to look at the calendar and try to come up with a workable schedule given all our constraints (late starts, listening to presentations, shelf life of random things, etc). 
The group that comes up with the best timeline/calendar for completion of the lab gets 5 bonus points! (yes you can work on this with your group, but all need their own printout for NB check time).

1. Intro Notes (more vocab than usual here, please take good notes)
2. Watch the recombinant DNA video in step #1. Again, take good notes.
3. Answer the questions from step #2. (there are four parts, please label each answer).
4. Answer the questions from step #3. (there are five parts, please label each answer).

Upload your google slides here. 
Your presentation should 
-be about 10 minutes (or, less than 12 and more than 7).
include:
1. Process
    -Idea
    -Modifications (and why?)
    -Confounding Variables (which ones did you anticipate/plan around? Which did you not anticipate? etc)
2. Trials
    -What actually happened?
    -How did you decide what to focus on/ignore? why?
    -an overview of findings/trends
3. Conclusions/further study as applicable
    -what would you change/why? 
    -could you reject H0? explain.
-- where possible/applicable, include images/sections of your poster

This is a TEAM submission.  
1. Review the Creating Effective Poster Presentations online resource available from the link that says 'Home' below. (It's the NYU resource listed, but has a new link. Make sure to review the following sections of the website: An Effective Poster, Define Your Message, Know Your Audience(s), An Effective Abstract, and Create Your Poster.  Might be a good idea to look at their critiqued examples too. Then check out the 'poster basics' link too. 

**Note that a rubric for the poster has already been posted!**

2. Work with your team to design a poster presentation to summarize your independent research project.  You'll need to make sure it
includes:
o    Title
o    Team Members
o    South Pasadena High School (name and logo) & PLTW Biomedical Science (name and logo)
o    Statement of the research problem or question
o    Introduction to the purpose of the research
o    Background information
o    Abstract (encouraged)
o    Hypotheses (Include both the null hypothesis and alternative hypothesis)
o    Experimental methodology
o    Data Tables
o    Graph(s)
o    Photographs
o    Statistical Analysis
o    Conclusion
o    Citations
o    Acknowledgements (if applicable)


3. Use the Tips for Producing Powerful and Effective Presentations resource sheet to create your poster. You may use a PowerPoint template (some are available at: http://www.posterpresentations.com/html/free_poster_templates.html, and I've also included a link with a youtube tutorial) We WILL print your posters, so make sure to choose from the sizes mentioned (usually 36 x 48, but if you want a different size, that is OK- just NO LARGER than that!).  Make sure to BEGIN with the correct size, as changing it later can be very difficult/impossible.


4.  For this assignment, lay out a template for your poster showing where you'll place everything.  You should have all section headers on your poster when you submit it.  You should also go ahead and include all of these sections, which should at this point be ready to include all the same stuff from #2 above!

(Note that your Data Tables should just be summary tables, not ALL the data in most cases!)

5. You'll need to submit your work as a pdf.


6. Finally, prepare to present your poster. (will include more info in a future lesson) Check out the presentation rubric in 2.1.4 for starters. You will make a ppt or google slides presentation highlighting your experiment, zooming in on parts of the poster, etc and explain it all to the class.

Please post your research question and experiment. One per group, but include everyone's names. 
Thanks!

Complete a gallery walk of all the experiments shown.

Write at least one positive or negative comment/concern/question on each one (on the post it/note card)


In your lab journal:

1. Choose the one you feel is best and write 3-5 sentences (or bullet points) about what is best about it. Be prepared to defend your choice and suggestions next class. 

2. Choose the one you feel is worst (or could use the most improvement) and write 3-5 sentences/bullet pts about what needs improving and/or how you would improve this study (Changing the topic doesn't count!). Be prepared to defend your suggestions next class.

Please post what you think are your top 5 questions from your group brainstorm. Try not to duplicate other people/groups!

1. (read the intro and first few steps of 214 and then...) Brainstorm! What experimental questions are you curious about? (must involve human physiology)
2. As a group, discuss. Come up with AT LEAST FIVE decent questions you could design an experiment about. Choose the five you (as a group) think are best, and answer questions in step 7 about each one.
3. Rank your questions- from the one you are most interested in testing (or most likely to choose) to the one you are least likely to choose. 
4. Post your 5+ questions to the 'question' assignment thing on the GC (one person per group, but please note the other members' names)
5. Answer CQ #1

1. Take notes in your laboratory notebook as you review the Statistical Analysis presentation.
2. Using the Statistical Analysis Resource Sheet and the SRS, follow all of the steps to statistically analyze the practice problem found on Part I: Example 1. Show all work. (Decimals rounded to thousandths please)
3. Compare your answers in part 1 of your Student Response Sheet to the answers outlined in example 1 on the Examples Resource Sheet.
4. Read through the remainder of the examples on the Examples Resource Sheet. Note that the specific t-test formula used in each example is specific to the study performed. (make a small note in your NB as to what t-test is used, and why, for each)
5. Work with your partner to statistically analyze the results of your assigned study. Show all of your work!
6. CQ 1-7

5. Find two 'normal' articles and two 'scientific' articles (#14 and #16) (MAKE SURE they have data represented in them!)
-Print them out. (yes, I really do mean please print them out. If they are longer than 3 pages, just print the first 3).
-MUST BE DIFFERENT from anyone else in your table group!
6. Answer the questions in step 17 about your sci articles.
7. CQ 2-4 (skip #1)

-Read intro
1. Brainstorm what's misleading in data, and be specific about the examples given in #2. 
-Compare your thoughts with answers on the SRS!
2. SRS- highlight info/notes (#6) and matching (#7).
3. In groups, come up with a fictional MI or product.
4. Design 3 slides and prepare to present about your product (#10-11). 
(Prep to Present BRIEFLY next time!)

To finish up 211:
5. Notes on 2-3 best exp. and worst designs (from gallery walk)
6. Your response to your critiques- which were helpful & why? (please give this some real thought!)
7. How might you re-design your experiment to be more reliable or valid (etc)? Would you say there might be a different approach to your question that might work? Describe (even if not, explain why not).
8. CQ 1-5

Please bring back your syllabus signature page and LMK if you have any questions. Thanks and welcome back! :)
(It will be 5 points but I don't want to grade it here on the GC)

(#1 was the SRS you did last class)
2. Use the internet to research basic information for your pair. Take notes in your laboratory notebook. (#6)
3. Use your initial research to help you answer the questions below in your laboratory notebook. Create a graphic organizer in your laboratory notebook to help you organize your answers.
-Pros/cons of using a prospective cohort study ?
-Pros/cons of using a retrospective cohort study ?
-Pros/cons of using a cross-sectional study ?
-Pros/cons of using an experimental study ?
4. Use the Experimental Design resource and the graphic organizer on your Student Response Sheet to help you write a brief study design to investigate the association between your activity/treatment and disease pair. Make sure to set up the study so that it is reliable and valid. (put notes in your NB. Then, write up on a yellow paper to post for critiques).

See attached Google sheet for a copy of what PLTW has for you here (to be used in case PLTW not accessible yet... if it IS accessible, just go through the first steps of 2.1.1 from there). Note that the presentation it references is listed as a separate link!
Also note- you want good notes here. This is one of the few times you WILL be quizzed on this material this year.
