Human Pathology/History of Science Projects

Students were given the choice of preparing a PowerPoint Presentation, a Web Site presentation,
an original 3-D model, a comic strip, a storyboard, or almost anything they could think of to do. 

They could choose to examine how a particular disease affects one of the human organ systems. You should describe how the disease stops the normal function of the system. Explain the cause of the disease, is it genetic or environmental. And finally describe how it is treated now and how future scientific advances may make treatment more efficient. or result in a possible cure. 

They could also opt to choose a scientist or group of scientists that made an important discovery and describe how they developed their hypothesis and proved their concept. You should explain how their approach differed from those of other workers at the time.
