Assessment for grading
In
this assessment you will revisit the case studies that you covered (they will be in documents and the questions in each case study should be answered – it will be considered as “rough notes” as it says later in the assignment) and summarize and present your findings in a format of your choice.
Instructions
Part 1: Summarize your learning in case studies
1. J.
Wellington Wimpy (from unit 2, learning activity 2)
·
Compare 1 meal of Wimpy’s before his transformation (burger
meal) to 1 meal of his after his transformation (sub meal). For each meal
(before and after), list the ingredients that were likely in his meal. Then
compare the macromolecules available in each meal.
·
Explain how these macromolecules break down in the body for
energy. Include diagrams in your description. What are the major differences
between the two meals? Is the turkey sub a healthier meal when looking at the
macromolecules available?
·
Provide some tips for Wimpy to make his meals even
healthier.
2.
Lactose intolerance (from unit 2, learning activity 4)
·
Explain to Carol what is happening in her body – what does
it mean to be lactose intolerant? Explain this using biology terms and concepts
learned in this unit. Why does her doctor recommend that she eats yogurt?
3.
Hydration and dehydration (from unit 2, learning activity 5)
·
Who was correct? Ellie’s father or mother? Explain the
process of getting wrinkly skin and how you know they were correct. Is what
happens to skin in an ocean vs. a freshwater lake different or the same?
Explain this using concepts and terms learned in this unit.
Part 2: Putting it all together
You
will now put everything that you have learned in the three case studies
together to present the cases. You may choose how you will present the cases.
You may write a report, write a series of short stories, create comics, create
a slide deck, create a video, create infographics and visuals, etc. You may be
as creative as you like, just be sure to review the success criteria so that
you include all the important concepts and requirements. For any diagrams
needed you may draw or use appropriate images you find on the internet. If
using images from the internet, be sure that they are appropriate and serve the
purpose to explain the concept well. Sources of all images must be included.
When
you are ready, submit your presentation of all three cases. You should include
your rough notes on the case studies as well.
Submission instructions:
When
you are ready, submit your assessment for feedback and a grade by selecting the
“Assignments” link and following the submission directions.
