  1. Lesson’s Learned from Duffy’s Cut For: OCS Applied Scienceand Special Education ClassesBy: Joann Blumenfeld Kathy Patrick

  2. Lesson 1: How Disease Spreads and What is Bacteria? • How Disease Spreads • Outbreak, Epidemics, Pandemics • Lab: Disease Spreading with Phenolphthalein Indicator • Glo-Germs • What is bacteria, “The Good, The Bad, The Ugly

  3. Lesson Two: Outbreaks, Epidemics, Pandemics and Cholera • Cholera (bacteria, spread by cholera vibrio), survive for years in spore like state on the bodies of copepods and crustaceans that feed on algae, when water temperatures and nutrients rise, algae blooms and more copepods and vibrio populations grow, cyclones etc. ,can cause contaminated drinking water • Discovered by Koch in 1883 • Originates in India in water or food sources • Treatment (students will make oral rehydration salts • Watch video on Duffy’s Cut look at socio/economic/political issues which affect access to resources such as healthcare

  4. Lesson 3: How Disease Changes History and Healthcare • “The Great Trouble: Mystery of London, the Blue Death and a Boy called Eel” by Deborah Hopkinson • Role play characters and make a Facebook Page • “Outbreak, Plagues That Changed History” by Bryan Barnard • Make creative presentation about: Epidemics/Pandemics, disease cause, treatment, spread, prevention and how changed history • Citizen Science Projects

  5. Lesson 4: Methods of Archelogy • Sorting of artifacts in a paper bag and artifact sheets • Tools/Methods of Archelogy • Make a grid, complete a dig • Record data, artifact sheets and store artifacts • Artifacts include: similar to Duffy’s Cut, bones plastic/paper

  6. Lesson 5: Analyzing Artifacts • Geophysics • Sorting artifacts • Learn to age and identify sex of skeleton and other characteristics: plastic bones, • Paper bones, virtual labs and/or animal bones • Put in cultural and economic context • Field Trip to NCSU Forensic Department and also visitor from SBI to learn content, educational pathways and careers.

  7. “Worksheets Don’t Grown Dendrites”

  8. Lab Report Format
