Dent Post #7 Pathology Research

We are beginning our unit "Autopsy" to coincide with our IDL from Greenbush next week. To get ready for the IDL, we need to do some research.  You will have several assignments to complete before next Thursday.

Our first research project is over Pathology.  You will be assigned an organ/disease and will need to create a presentation over that organ to share on this blog.  You may use the type of presentation software of your choice. For example: PowerPoint, Google Presentation, Sliderocket, etc.) Be sure to include the following in your presentation:

  1. Normal images of the organ you were assigned
  2. A detailed description of the physical characteristics of a healthy organ.
  3. The normal weight, size and other pertinent details that would be helpful to know in an autopsy.
  4. Images of an unhealthy organ.
  5. Description of how the diseased organ is different from the healthy one.
  6. Write a brief description of the causes and symptoms of this disease and another other information you found in your research.
  7. Explain why or why not this disease could be a cause of death.
  8. Share new vocabulary words in the presentation. 
  9. Provide Resources page with website links
I have provided the link for you that is also in your Autopsy packet.  You may use the links provided in this document for the information in your presentation in addition to those of your choosing. Remember to create a resource page to give credit to sites that you used.
