Gr 5 Human Disease Project & Presentation Due Jan 26th, 2018

Research Presentation

Due by: Friday Jan 26, 2018

Dear Medical Researcher Student,

You have been invited to a medical conference to speak on a disease or medical condition.  In preparation for this conference…

Research a disease or medical condition.  Include the following:

 Causes

 Symptoms

Which organ system(s) affected

 Side effects

 Treatment

How this disease/condition affects human organ systems

How diet/healthy choices and active living can help

How medical technology has helped with diagnosis, treatment, management or cure of this disease or condition

 Diagrams of the body showing with system(s) affected

 Pictures 

You will need to make a visual and oral presentation of your findings to a medical board comprised of your classmates.  The visual display should include the written notes about the disease/condition as well as pictures and diagrams.  You may use a Bristol board display, or produce a power point presentation. 

Where do I start?

- Start by writing down all the questions you have about this disease/condition.  

- Group your questions into similar topics.  

- Use your questions to guide your research.  

- Remember to make notes as you research, but not copy directly from the book or internet.

Two Internet sites that you can use to help you:

www.kidshealth.org

www.aboutkidshealth.ca

You might find it useful to contact the society that oversees the disease.  They will often have a website that you may access for information.

If you are using other websites, please have your parent or guardian check the site first.

These are suggestions for possible topics for research.  If you would like to research a disease or conditions that is not included in this list, please advise your teacher.  Each student should research a different topic (it will make the conference more interesting).  When you have chosen your topic, please clear your topic with your teacher.

3. I discuss how it affects the systems of the body.

4. I identify clearly the ways medical technology and healthy living help people suffering from this disease/condition.

5. I have included labelled diagrams and pictures in my visual presentation.

6.  I have mounted my information neatly on Bristol board, or arranged my power point in an interesting manner.  I have printed a copy of my power point presentation.
