Collaboration
Emery Unified is developing it's practice in STEM teaching and for that purpose I will collaborate with the mathematics departments and technology instructor. Determining possibility of disease is dependant on the genes of parents and the likelihood they are passed onto the offspring. Students will work in their statistics course to evaluate the incidence of the diseases to be studied. I want to students to understand the likelihood of a disease within a community by examining their own.
Many of my students do not own a computer at home and are hardly able to navigate through simple instructions when using one at school. To help them improve their skills, this unit will require students to document their work on a word file as well as create a presentation using power point. For that, I will collaborate with the technology instructor, who will give lessons on how to perform basic functions on the computers, such as tools for formatting. It is important that my students become fluent in the use of professional technology should they want to be successful in work or school. Students will learn to complete accurate science research using accredited sources and to report on them accurately. Students will also have the opportunity to complete lab activities using Gel Electrophoresis in the classroom to demonstrate the use of biotechnology in science specifically related to human health.
