Here is information for Bio 529 - Case Studies Assignment followed by Case Studies done by Cohort 3




Global Warming Case Study
====This Case study is designed to explore the link between cinema and reality all the while exploring the media hot topic of Global Warming. Graphs, charts and data from a variety of credible resources are provided to help high school students practice their data analysis techniques that are vital parts of standardized tests. Students are also given a fictional dialogue between relatable people that will allow them to also practice reading for detail and facts.==== 

**A Case Study of Nutritional Health as an Introduction to Macromolecules for High School Biology Class**
This case study was written as a novel way to approach the study of macromolecules and the role they play in life. Understanding the basic biochemistry of carbohydrates, lipids, proteins and nucleic acids helps students grasp what cells are composed of and how they carry out life processes. Most students find it easier to learn about something if they can connect it to their daily lives. Each scene leads the class deeper into the study of macromolecules beginning with Katrina’s health problems which stem from her food and activity choices which have lead to Type II Diabetes, and beyond into exploring the changes in global nutritional health issues



The content of this case study is based on a true event in U.S. history. In 1993, there was a cryptosporidium outbreak in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. The pathogenic bacterium, cryptosporidium, was spread to over 400,000 people through the city’s water system. According to Infections Disease News, this outbreak is noted as the largest epidemic of waterborne disease in U.S. History. This case study module can fit nicely in the following biology units:  · scientific inquiry  · bacteria and viruses  · infectious disease  · humans and their interactions in the environment
