Another article today on hand sanitizers to add to our list on page 74. Today's article was titled, "Hidden Dangers of Hand Sanitizers". As you read the article, fill in the chart. Next, we completed the pathogen handout on page 75. If you were not here today, here are the handouts to help you fill in the chart. This is the assignment we started last class. Epidemics in America: : Click on this link to get to the infograph. Use the information from the infograph to fill in the chart on the major epidemics in the United States. Microbes and Diseases - (Homework) I suggest using the websites: www.Mayoclinic.com and www.cdc.gov, but you can use any other site too. You are looking for the pathogen (bacteria, virus, protist, fungi), the symptoms of the disease, the treatment and if there is a vector carrying it. A vector is any animal that carrries the disease but doesn't get infected. (For example: Mosquitoes are vectors for malaria) Warm up - Today we changed up our warm up a bit by reading an article on Hand Sanitizers. The article titled "Is Hand Sanitizers bad for my Micorbiome?" In our notebook the students wrote down the benefits and consequences of using hand sanitizers on page 74. We are going to be keeping a running log of all the evidence that supports the use of hand sanitizers and all the evidence that supports not using hand sanitizers. Next, we went over the Infectious Vocabulary from last class. If you were not here to review, here is the review of the vocabulary. These words go on page 73 in our notebooks. We also got up and moved around the room to see the transmission of a disease through a population. Lastly, we completed a chart filling in information on different pathogens (page 75 in your notebook). If you were not here here is the information we used in class to fill in the chart.
This was our first formal grade of our 4th quarter. Many of you had low grades. In order to start the quarter strong, I am offering a re - do of the cell quiz.
