In WyCO bronchitis and asthma among children from birth to age 17 ranked 10 among the top 20 most frequent conditions treated at community hospitals. Students are challenged to assess the air quality of their home and community and provide remedies to promote community awareness and to help citizens understand the magnitude of the asthma problem.Driving QuestionHow does Asthma affect the teenage body? Entry Event Students will all perform a peak flow meter test(evaluate the results, discuss findings)Student survey: students that have been told they have asthma, students that still have asthma, students requiring treatmentvideo: Children living with asthmaProductsIndividual:Identify the risk factorsInterview a person with asthmaExplore asthma (age, gender, geographic location)Specific content and competencies to be assessed:1.14- Analyze the interdependence of body systems as it relates to wellness/diseaseTeam: Looking at a MAP of WyCO (what do you see? why?)create, design a solution to clean the air around you.Specific content and competencies to be assessed:1.23- Analyze body system changes in light of diseases, disorders and wellness.PROJECT DESIGN: OVERVIEWpage 2Making Products Public(include how the products will be made public and who students will engage with during/at end of project)Students will conduct a air quality assessment. With the results students will 1. write a letter to a A)community organization, asking how can they assist with the problem B) Local government, asking what is being done to address the problem 2. Create a Youtube video that outlines the air quality assessment and what can be done to improve air quality 3. Design informative pamphlet that can be distributed to members of the community.Resources NeededOn-site people, facilities: School Nurse, Equipment: Peak flow meters, computer, projectorMaterials:MAP of Kansas with Asthma cases county, MAP of WYCO with asthma cases by zip code, Won Choi Health Disparities PPT”, “Mapping out healthcare inequalities(Health and wellbeing for all)Community Resources:The greater KC asthma and allergy Foundation (AAFA), KU med Center, WYCO Health COuncil and the EPA, T-ScoreReflection Methods(how individual, team, and/or whole class will reflect during/at end of project)Journal/Learning LogFactors that contribute to asthma severity(are these factors in your immediate environment?)Focus GroupWhole-Class DiscussionAsthma disparities our local situation (Kansas MAPS- prevalence of asthma in KCK, OPKS, KCMO, INDMO)Fishbowl DiscussionSurveyAir quality of the school (cafeteria, library, gymnasium, classroom, bathroom)Other:Notes:PROJECT DESIGN: STUDENT LEARNING GUIDEProject: Driving Question: How does Asthma affect the teenage body?Final Product(s) Presentations, Performances, Products and/or ServicesLearning Outcomes/Targetsknowledge, understanding & success skills needed by students to successfully complete productsCheckpoints/Formative Assessmentsto check for learning and ensure students are on trackInstructional Strategies for All Learnersprovided by teacher, other staff, experts; includes scaffolds, materials, lessons aligned to learning outcomes and formative assessments(individual and team)I can conduct a Air quality assessment of my home and analyze asthma risk factors.I can describe the basic structure and function of my body systems.(Health Science- Respiratory System)summary of body organsExit ticket following lesson*sketch your body on paper*insert the following organs in your body(lungs, heart,stomach,liver, intestines, brain,kidney), bone, muscleI can compare the relationships that exist between my body systemsInformational writingTrace the path of air we breathe through the respiratory system. Start and end with the nose. Describe each structure along the way.I can analyze my body systems as it relates to disease and wellnessSummary sentence of peak flow outcomesquick write assessment- Create a table that lists each body system, its function, and at least one disease or disorder associated with the system.note the risk factors associated with each disease.AsthmaI can summarize or paraphrase asthma disparities locally (WYCO, JO, KCMO)Quick write assessmentJournal asthma severity*Teacher model of Maps(State of KS, county)*What's the problem? What are you going to do about it?develop a pollution application for the phone that will evaluate air quality.Or create a pamphlet to inform community or design a product that will help clean the air. I can define health disparities by recalling and describing social determinants that affect health.Quick write assessment- defining health disparities.describe social determinants in WyCO.Health and well being visual walkdifficulty breathing articleI can identify community stakeholders-civic leaders, government officials, and school administrators.Quick write, what does the data say?Construct a letter to health care agency/local government.Air Qualityassessmentdata review ................
