In this service-learning engineering project, students follow the steps of the engineering design process to design an assistive eating device for a client. More specifically, they design a prototype device to help a young girl who has a medical condition that restricts the motion of her joints. Her wish is to eat her favorite food, pizza, without getting her nose wet. Students learn about arthrogryposis and how it affects the human body as they act as engineers to find a solution to this open-ended design challenge and build a working prototype. This project works even better if you arrange for a client in your own community.

This Illuminations activity focuses on making predictions and the collection and analysis of data by having students take their pulse after different exercises. All individual data is collected in a classroom chart where the results are interpreted and conclusions drawn. The lesson includes a student worksheet and extension questions.

All of us have felt sick at some point in our lives. Many times, we find ourselves asking, "What is the quickest way that I can start to feel better?" During this two-lesson unit, students study that question and determine which form of medicine delivery (pill, liquid, injection/shot) offers the fastest relief. This challenge question serves as a real-world context for learning all about flow rates. Students study how long various prescription methods take to introduce chemicals into our blood streams, as well as use flow rate to determine how increasing a person's heart rate can theoretically make medicines work more quickly. Students are introduced to engineering devices that simulate what occurs during the distribution of antibiotic cells in the body.

Fish Species Commercially Harvested or Raised in Wisconsin for Food

" This course explores the foundations of policy making in developing countries. The goal is to spell out various policy options and to quantify the trade-offs between them. We will study the different facets of human development: education, health, gender, the family, land relations, risk, informal and formal norms and institutions. This is an empirical class. For each topic, we will study several concrete examples chosen from around the world. While studying each of these topics, we will ask: What determines the decisions of poor households in developing countries? What constraints are they subject to? Is there a scope for policy (by government, international organizations, or non-governmental organizations (NGOs))? What policies have been tried out? Have they been successful?"

Presents the anatomy, physiology, biochemistry, biophysics, and bioengineering of the gastrointestinal tract and associated pancreatic, liver, and biliary systems. Emphasis on the molecular and pathophysiological basis of disease where known. Covers gross and microscopic pathology and clinical aspects. Formal lectures given by core faculty, with some guest lectures by local experts. Selected seminars conducted by students with supervision of faculty. Permission of instructor required. (Only HST students may register under HST.120, graded P/D/F.) The most recent knowledge of the anatomy, physiology, biochemistry, biophysics, and bioengineering of the gastrointestinal tract and the associated pancreatic, liver and biliary tract systems is presented and discussed. Gross and microscopic pathology and the clinical aspects of important gastroenterological diseases are then presented, with emphasis on integrating the molecular, cellular and pathophysiological aspects of the disease processes to their related symptoms and signs.

These 20 Broad General Education lesson plans focus on the creative and collaborative aspects of computational thinking, programming and coding, building girls confidence and resilience by embedding these concepts through interdisciplinary learning into Literacy & English, health and wellbeing, mathematics, sciences, art & design, music, social subjects and physical education.

The resource packs comprise of lesson plans, PowerPoint presentations, video tutorials and website recommendations and provide a wealth of engaging and inspiring learning experiences for teachers to use with their class over a period of a week, a term or over the academic year.

This source is a publication from Princeton University that provides pictograms for a multitude of hazard symbols commonly seen in many industries including healthcare. For an interactive activity, students should make flashcards similar to ones you would see on online sites like quizlet. On one side, have a drawing of the hazard symbol, and on the back a short description of what the hazard symbol does/is for. Doing this will help students remember the meanings and also reinforce their understanding of them.

This resource is a video posted by Finoit Technologies that provides an overview of the 10 largest challenges our healthcare system faces today and will continue to face in the future. For an activity, I would have your students watch the short video and then have each of them pick one of the ten problems from the video and propose a solution. This will allow your students to think critically and this activity will give them an idea of the problems leaders in healthcare face every day.

Communication comes in many forms and is a part of everything we do. It is even more critical when we talk about understanding and making important health decisions. The following resources bring awareness to the importance of communication, whether a patient or provider, and how health literacy plays an important role in clear, understandable communication.

This rubric is a tool to help teachers and curriculum leaders to evaluate the appropriateness of lessons, activities, resources, or instructional materials for health education. It is quick to use and will ensure the resource is high quality and grade level appropriate. It will also highlight what adjustments need to be made to ensure the effectiveness of the resource for use in the classroom. The Google Doc version is included here, which is ediable to fill in information electronically. There is a PDF version in the resource folder as well.

In this 95-minute lesson, students will be able to:
-Understand the importance of having health insurance
-Identify the various costs affiliated with having health insurance
-Explain how health insurance works and the different types of plans available to them
-Understand how government healthcare programs like Medicaid and CHIP work and who qualifies for them
-Explore steps they can take to lower their medical costs

Health Literacy 101 is an educational program developed by Wisconsin Health Literacy to help students learn the importance and impact of health literacy in the health profession, strategies for better communication, and how health literacy can be applied as a patient for better health.

Healthcare careers can be found in more than just the Health career cluster! Health-related careers can be found in the following Career Cluster Chart.

This brief video from the New North region gives an overview of the Health Science Pathway and the process students can use to access the pathway and its components.

With the uncertainty of face-to-face contact due to COVID-19 this year, CESA 8 has developed Virtual Job Spotlights, in conjunction with NWTC, CESA 7, Ahnapee YA Consortium, UWGB and the NEW Manufacturing Alliance, Virtual Job Spotlights provide students in Northeast Wisconsin with virtual connections to employers each week through Zoom. These job shadowing opportunities will allow students, staff, and parents to hear from a variety of industry professionals and post-secondary educators discussing their education and career pathways.

A main concern of shoe engineers is creating shoes that provide the right amount of arch support to prevent (or fix) common gait misalignments that lead to injury. During this activity, students look at their own footprints and determine whether they have either of the two most prominent gait misalignments: overpronation (collapsing arches) or supination (high arches). Knowing the shape of a person's foot, and their natural arch movement is necessary to design shoes to fix these gain alignments.
