Catalyst: August 7 th, 2013 You do not need your Catalyst sheet. Diagnostic- “to diagnose” See what you have retained from middle school/physical science What we can skip/what we need to go over Reminder: Class Culture quiz tomorrow! Expectations By yourself. In your seat. Silently. For a completion grade.

Catalyst: August 7 th, 2013 You do not need your Catalyst sheet. Begin working on the paper I handed you at the door. Follow the directions and complete ONLY the table. If you have read the directions and still have questions, silently raise your hand. *If you do not finish….

How does Biology apply to me? In order to be successful in college and beyond…  How Biology can help…  If you pass the EOC  Rigorous science prep  Outside skills What is the College Readiness Rubric??!

Agenda College Readiness Rubric : 8 minutes Announcements/Agenda: 2 minutes Procedures: 8 minutes Hook: 5 minutes The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks: 20 minutes Reflection Guide and Discussion: Remainder

Announcements Class website: Parent Form: DUE MONDAY, AUGUST 12 th ! Materials (Review?): MONDAY AUGUST 19 th ! Extra credit materials! Class Culture Quiz on Friday HONORS ASSIGNMENT: Tuskegee Syphillis Study and Socratic Seminar prep

Objectives SWBAT describe the procedure for handing in/passing out papers. SWBAT describe the procedure for unprepared for class. SWBAT describe the incentives and rewards for Biology class. SWBAT describe methods of tracking (particularly the college readiness rubric) in Biology. SWBAT examine scientific ethics and bias in a hiotorical context.

Passing In/Out Papers Passing In: Generally, papers will be taken up by passing them over. There is no need to turn around and talk to the person behind you! Homework = taken up at beginning of class. I may also ask you to hand papers in as you leave class. Passing Out: Not all assignments will be returned. Important assignments that will assist you in exam and EOC preparation will be returned. Either I will pass them back during Catalyst or will ask a couple of students to pass them back. If you are asked to pass back papers, you need to do so quickly and efficiently.

Hook What is science? Is science always “good”? Sometimes, scientists and doctors abuse their participants and patients in the name of science. Examples?

Soviet Poison Laboratory

Nazi Experimentation

Objectives/Where does this fit in?/Review SWBAT describe the procedure for absences. SWBAT will review all procedures/expectatio ns discussed thus far. SWBAT describe the basic biography of Henrietta Lacks, the development of HeLa cells, and their importance to Biology. This will allow them to make connections between real-life and science, the role of race, ethics, morality, and self-advocacy in science and in our classroom.

Getting Ready to Read… HeLa Reflection Questions As we go through Henrietta’s biography, we will be pausing to answer reflection questions. You will be turning this in for a grade. Reflection time during reading is private; however, we will be discussing after the reading.

Expectations Active participant. Answering all questions. Volume

Pre-Reading Vocabulary Cell: basic structure of all living things; contains a person’s genetic instructions; cells are components of each part of the body and play different roles Cell line: cells that keep dividing a growing over time, under certain conditions in a lab Cancer: uncontrolled growth of abnormal cells in the body Cervical cancer: cancer of the cervix (the lower part of the uterus)

Reflection Question #1: After Paragraph 2 Why do you think Henrietta choose the word “knot” to describe the strange feeling in her abdomen? At this point, what would you diagnose her with?

Reflection Question #2: After Paragraph 3 John Hopkins was a segregated hospital like many institutions in the 1950s. How do you think this affected the medical care African Americans received? Was it the same quality as what Caucasians received? Have things changed?

Reflection Question #3: After Paragraph 85 HeLa cells were the first human cells sent into space. They brought about the polio vaccine (terrible virus). HeLa cells have created a billion dollar industry. In your own words, explain why was the growth rate of HeLa cells so incredible to science. Should her family have benefited from the sell of HeLa cells? Why or why not?

Reflection Question #4: After Reading Take the next few minutes to jot down any reactions, emotions, thoughts, connections, questions, ANYTHING that you think after reading the excerpts.

The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks

Discussion Reflection Question 4—Share thoughts and questions. Was Henrietta’s life similar or different to that of other African Americans in 1950s America? “In those days, people didn’t talk about things like cancer, but Sadie always figured Henrietta kept it secret because she was afraid a doctor would take her womb and make her stop having children.” What does Henrietta’s fear about doctors tell you about being a black woman during this time?

Discussion In your opinion, was this an example of science abusing power? Of taking advantage of someone? Brainstorm: What lessons and messages can the following take from Henrietta’s biography: Every day people needing medical care Doctors Researchers and Scientists

There are still issues of race and class associated with science and education today. HeLa cells created a MULTIBILLION dollar industry, but her family doesn’t have HEATH INSURANCE.

Ethics Special code of behavior for people engaging in science and medicine Set of guidelines

Informed Consent People must be made aware of the potential risks and consequences of medical procedures. Patients must be told the truth about procedures. CONSENT=Awareness and permission

Honors Assignment Take the HeLa reflection guide home to look over Read the “Tuskegee Syphilis Study” fact sheet at home Create an outline (using the outline template) of the Tuskegee Syphilis Study fact sheet. Sections of outline You will use this outline and your reflection guides from today in a Socratic seminar on Friday.

Socratic Seminars: What are They? Why is there a dude’s head on this slide? Greek philosopher Taught many students Socratic Seminar: The “teacher” (in this case: ME) asks the “students” (in this case: YOU) open-ended questions based on material they are knowledgeable about (i.e. the readings) Students then discuss these questions and responses collaboratively using evidence from the text (even though we may disagree) to dig deeper into the content
