7. What is a Medical Detective?  A Medical Detective is a person who uses his or her knowledge of science, technology, math, and communication to solve medical mysteries.  A variety of healthcare professionals act as medical detectives in identifying, treating, and preventing injury and illness in their patients.  These medical detectives are part of a larger group of professionals working in biomedical science.  Many careers participate in this work, including scientists, doctors, crime scene investigators, and biomedical engineers.

8. PLAN  Provide examples of how medical professionals contribute to the health and wellness of individuals. DO  We will complete our scavenger hunt for different biomedical science careers and their contribution to human health and wellness.  You will pick one career that you read and wrote about to tell someone in the class about.

9. Scavenger Hunt  Use the website below to hunt for different Biomedical Science Careers.  This link can also be found on my Teacher Website.  http://www.sciencebuddies.org/science-engineering- careers?From=Tab#health http://www.sciencebuddies.org/science-engineering- careers?From=Tab#health  Be sure to click on the different tabs at the top to view careers in different areas.  Choose one career for each letter of the alphabet. Write its name and the contribution of that career in the table you drew in your journal.

10. Scavenger Hunt  Once you have completed a Biomedical Science Career for each letter of the alphabet, read back through your selections and choose one career that interests you the most.  Write, at the bottom of your table in your journal, the career you chose and why you chose that career.  Be able to explain the contribution of that career and why you chose that career to someone in the class.

11. Wednesday, Aug. 17 DO NOW:  Write the following in your biomedical journal on page 14.  Epidemic: an infectious disease that spreads rapidly and sickens a large number of people  Examples: avian flu, smallpox, and HIV Thank you for getting started right away on your DO NOW (in the Wednesday box on your sheet).

12. PLAN  Explain the different ways a virus spreads through a population.  Describe the spread of a viral illness after inoculation (vaccination) is introduced. DO  We will discuss epidemics, viruses, and how they are spread.  We will complete a class activity in which we investigate the spread of a virus and how vaccinations prevent this spread.

13. Avian Flu Outbreak of 1918  Killed 30-50 million people worldwide  That is more people than were killed in WWI.  Spread across the entire US in less than a month.

16. Viruses  Sub-microscopic particle that must infect living plant and animal cells to reproduce.  May spread through a population by  contact with contaminated surfaces  airborne droplets from coughing or sneezing by an infected individual  ingesting infected food or water  Prevention includes  Vaccines  Hand washing  Physical barriers (covering mouth and nose during cough or sneeze with arm or mask)

17. Chickenpox Outbreak  Caused by varicella zoster virus (VZV)  Highly contagious (spread from one person to another easily)  Spread by coming in contact with blister fluid or when an infect individual coughs or sneezes near you.  Infected individual is contagious and can spread the virus 1-2 days before symptoms such as rash, fever, and body aches appear.

18. Chickenpox Outbreak  Draw this data table on page 15 of your biomedical journal. RoundInitial # Infected # VaccinatedFinal # Infected 110 240 348

19. Chickenpox Outbreak  Write and answer these conclusion questions on page 15 of your biomedical journal. 1. What were some differences between Round 1 and Round 2? 2. Does Round 1 or 2 more closely simulate the spread of an epidemic? Explain why. 3. How does Round 3 compare with Round 2? 4. Predict what what we would have seen if we had done a Round 4 with 14 people vaccinated. 5. Describe ways a virus can spread through a population. 6. Our school has a sudden, early outbreak of the flu. How can you protect yourself from contracting this viral disease?

20. Friday, Aug. 19 DO NOW:  Explain how vaccination affects the spread of a virus. Give evidence for your answer from our class activity. Thank you for getting started right away on your DO NOW (in the Thursday box on your sheet).

21. PLAN  Evaluate patient case files to diagnose the pathogen responsible for a patient’s mystery illness.  Describe the steps that a medical professional will take to diagnose and treat a patient. DO  We will go over the Conclusion questions from yesterday.  We will go to the media center to finish the food safety notes and graphic organizer from yesterday.

22. Chickenpox Outbreak  Write and answer these conclusion questions on page 15 of your biomedical journal. 1. What were some differences between Round 1 and Round 2? 2.
