Dear Parents & Guardians:

  • 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 Choices Sheet

Presentation dates have already been assigned to each student (check with your son or daughter for his or her date). The possible dates are listed below: TBD

The presentation should be accompanied by a display, which can be in the form of a good, old-fashioned poster (typical poster board size, approximately 2’ by 3’), a pamphlet/brochure, or a digital format such as a Keynote presentation, an iWeb or Google Slideshow. In addition to the required content, displays should have at least three relevant images - one for each required topic - cause, effect, and treatment. A full bibliography for text and images is also required.
