SKIN RESEARCH PROJECT



Anatomy & Physiology: SKIN RESEARCH PROJECT

Purpose:

Everyone should have an understanding of some common skin diseases, disorders and rashes and the problems they can cause. In addition, we should all be able to gather information and organize it so that we can present it to others.

1. Select a topic that you would like to investigate and sign up for it with Ms. Crotts. The topic that you have chosen will be your’s, no one else will have the same topic as you.

2. Examples of sources that you might use could include an encyclopedia, a medical dictionary, magazine articles, or books. Some topics will have more information available than others.

3. Put your information together in a presentable format. Specifically, you will create a powerpoint on the information that you will use to present to the class. Information that you will include in your powerpoint should include the following (and all information must be IN YOUR OWN WORDS):

1. Name of your skin disorder, disease, etc.

2. Who discovered it and when it was discovered (if available)?

3. What causes it?

4. What are the symptoms (how does it present itself)?

5. What is the prognosis (treatment)? How effective is the treatment usually?

6. If the disorder is contagious, how can we keep from getting it? If it is not contagious, how could we reduce the risk of getting it?

7. Why is it important that we be informed about your topic?

**Your presentation will require a minimum of 2 sources cited in MLA format (Wikipedia, , etc. are not acceptable sources).
