You must turn in all three “Parts” to receive credit. A project that is missing one “Part” will NOT be graded

 

 

 

Part A (10 pts): Create a health family tree. Use 81/2 x 11 paper

The objective is to find an illness/disease in your family and research and learn about this illness/disease.  If you do not have any illnesses or diseases in your family than I will assign an alternative assignment.  Please let me know right away you need the alternate assignment. Note: If a family member does not have an illness, include them on your family tree and just write NONE for disease.  If you do not know anything about a family member make a box and write UNKNOWN OR DO NOT MAKE A BOX FOR THAT FAMILY MEMBER,

 

Part B (10 pts): Research on the internet.  A good website to use is www.kidshealth.org

  • Once you have learned one of your family members has or has had a disease then choose one illness and research it on the internet. Use the internet article to answer the questions from Part C.
  • You must attach the printed internet article about the illness/disease to your family tree.
  • The internet article must include the source (url address).

 

Part C(10 pts):   Answer the following questions on a separate sheet of paper and attach it to your family tree.  Please answer in complete sentences!
