Today in Science class we discussed the term project for the second trimester. We call it the “Disease of the Week Project”, as the students are expected to research and present specific information on a disease or disorder of their choice (some suggestions have been provided). Each student is responsible for finding out the nature of the disease/disorder, i.e. its cause, its effects (symptoms), as well as any possible treatments. You can find helpful forms and documents  HERE . Disease of the Week Project. Here is the link to the Project Page Make a copy of this graphic organizer. Start to collect your research here.
