Project: Bacteria and Viruses Objective: Identify and discuss the particular characteristics of a bacterial or viral disease, including the causes, the effects, and the impact on humans and their environment. Task: You are a first year medical student at the local university, specializing in the research of a bacterial or viral disease. You are going to research one bacterial or viral disease and compile your notes. Then you are going to construct a "Wanted Poster" to display for the information of others. Procedures: Choose a bacterial or parasitic disease by browsing through general websites and finding one that interests you. 1. Once you have chosen a bacterial disease, you must research it in great detail. The information you find can be organized into the following categories: (a) cause (b) symptoms, (c) treatment methods, (d) who does the disease affect, survival rates, etc. 2. Organize this information into "notes" that you will submit along with your poster. 3. Now organize this specific information into a "Wanted Poster". The poster will explain that the bacteria or virus is wanted dead, not alive. The wanted poster needs to include some kind of graphic (preferably a picture or a drawing), a description of the bacteria or parasite, and all of the categories listed above. The information should be clear, concise, and well organized. 4. You must include a bibliography that consists of at least 5 sources listed in the appropriate format. If you do not include a bibliography you will not receive credit for the assignment.
