◼ Bacteria, protists, and other forms of early life can be very harmful when they get into our food supply. Find a current (within the last two months) food recall or foodborne outbreak due to contamination by one of these living things. With that information, create a “Wanted” poster for the organism that has caused a recent outbreak of contaminated food. (Refer back to Chapter 3: “Food for Thought.”)

Choose a specific cancer (brain, prostate, breast, liver, etc.). Investigate and report in your OP what tissues/organs are affected, relevant morbidity/mortality/survival data, and other significant features of the disease.

Choose a specific cancer (brain, prostate, breast, liver, etc.). Investigate and report in your OP what tissues/organs are affected, relevant morbidity/mortality/survival data, and other significant features of the disease. Is there any indication that risk for this cancer is inherited? Are there any behavior/lifestyle changes that might decrease the risk of developing the cancer? 300-500 […]

You will investigate intrapopulation variation using a population readily available in your local area. The idea is that the individuals within the population will vary in some measurable way (ex. weight, length, number of spots, etc.). Some ideas for population choices are: Recommended: acorns located in a specific area (i.e. beneath a single tree) Pinecones located in a specific area (i.e. beneath a single tree) are another option, though it may be difficult to obtain a large number of them if they are large pinecones.
