  1. Personal Health Interdisciplinary Activities and Collaborative Research Projects Developed According to the California State Standards in Biology Grades 9-12 by Teresa Spiteri Dos Pueblos High School RET II UCSB 2006

  2. Classroom Context * College Prep Biology * Textbook: Modern Biology Holt, Reinhart and Winston * Class Size: 32 Students * ELL: 1-4 Students * Students with IEP’s: 1-5 Students -Attention Deficit Disorder -Difficulty with note-taking skills -Extended test time

  3. My 2005 Research Project * The DAM Enzyme: The Effect of Selective Mutations on Enzyme Mechanism of Action (DAM = DNA Adenine Methyltransferase) * Mentor: Stacey Peterson * Principal Investigator: Norbert Reich * The purpose of this project was to shed light on the regulation mechanism of DAM, which could lead to future development of antibiotics to prevent Urinary Tract Infections.

  4. Personal Health * My Goal: To design interdisciplinary activities and collaborative research projects that teach students about their personal health while adhering to California State Standards in Biology * SDAIE Strategies • DRTAs • Establish background knowledge • Highlight Essential Vocabulary • Visual Aids / Graphs / Artwork • Realia • Real world applications • Pair sharing / strategic grouping / group collaboration • Enhance Listening, Reading, Speaking and Writing skills

  5. Modules • Nutrition • Related to Science Content Standards on organic macromolecules and nutrients • (Standards 1h, 4e, 9a) • Sexually Transmitted Diseases and Infections • Related to Science Content Standards on bacteria and viruses • (Standards 1c, 10c-e) • Drug Abuse • Related to Science Content Standards on the nervous system • (Standards 9b-e)

  6. Nutrition Unit * B-K-W-L-Q • Text Prereading Guide - Chapter 3 • My Favorite Foods • Magazine Health Assessment • Dietary Journal • Molecular Modeling Activity • Science Article: The Vitamin Cure(Discover, May 2005) with Article Prereading Guide and GIST * Exit Slip

  7. Nutrition Research Project * Students will choose an essential vitamin or nutrient to research Nutrient Project Topics * Students will research the physiological effects of nutrient deficiency and over consumption Nutrient Research Guide * Students will create an informative television commercial or magazine advertisement for a food that is plentiful in the nutrient Nutrient Advertisement Rubric * Also includes Project Sign Up Sheet, Job Worksheet, Self Evaluation, and Peer Review

  8. Sexually Transmitted Diseases and Infections * B-K-W-L-Q * Simulation: The Spread of Disease * Text Prereading Guides - Chapter 24 and Chapter 25 * Bacterial Replication Worksheet * Viral Replication Worksheet * Science Article: To Banish A Cancer(Sci. Amer., Feb. 2006) with Article Prereading Guide and GIST * Exit Slip

  9. Sexually Transmitted Diseases and Infections Research Project • * Students will choose a STD or STI to research STD Project Topics • * Students will research the prevalence, symptoms, and complications associated with the disease STD Research Guide • Students will create a tri-fold informational pamphlet about their STD or STI STD Pamphlet Rubric * Also includes Project Sign Up Sheet, Job Worksheet, Self Evaluation, Peer Review, and Parent Letter

  10. Drug Abuse * B-K-W-L-Q * Text Prereading Guide - Chapter 50 * Reaction Time Activity * Science Articles: Neuroscientists Probe Psychedelic Psilocybin(Sci. Amer., Jul. 2006)and The Brain’s Own Marijuana(Sci. Amer., Dec. 2004)with Article Prereading Guides and GIST * Exit Slip

  11. Drug Abuse Research Project * Students will choose an abused drug to research Drug Project Topics * Students will research the drug’s mechanism of action, side effects, and dependence Drug Research Guide * Students will design an informative Power Point presentation to show to the class Drug Power Point Rubric *Also includes Project Sign Up Sheet, Job Worksheet, Self Evaluation and Peer Review
