Long Term Target: I can use my knowledge of cellular biology and genetics to describe the cause and effect of bacteria and viruses, analyze outbreaks, and hypothesize about their future containment and eradication.
Guiding Question: Will humans continue to be the subject of pandemics or will we find a way to effectively manage microorganisms?
Contagion
An investigation into the cause and effect of forces that have shaped us.
The Project
Combing research and development, students will study the science behind cellular biology and relate this information to viruses and their effect of the human body. Also, using Jared Diamond's book "Guns, Germs, and Steel" as a backbone, students will investigate the possible origins of our modern day viruses and diseases.
Contagion represents a combination of literal and mechanical expression...Science and Humanities working together to give students a comprehensive study of the world they live in.
