Katman Integumentary System Project: Skin Disorders
Due Date: 9/30/14
During our study of the Integumentary System, we take the time to do a project about skin disorders. Students are to choose a disorder from a list that I provide so there are no repeats. The project consists of two parts: “The Brochure”or Display poster board and “The Public Service Announcemen for extra credit..”
The Brochure: Each student makes a tri-fold brochure like those found in the health department and other health facilities (ex. doctor’s offices). The brochure is double sided with at least one photo of the disorder, description of the disorder, causes, cures or treatments, prevention, and any other information they think is specifically important to the disorder. Students are to include proper citation of their sources or they do not get credit for their project. No Plagiarism!
The Public Service Announcement: After completion of the brochure, students record a 10 to 30 second message about their disorder on the computer. The information must include what it is, how you get it, and possible treatments/cures. This is then put on our website with a picture of the student that recorded the information.
Note: some students do not have access to publishing type programs and internet so I schedule computer lab time and I accept hand written or typed and pasted brochures without penalty.

Science Project: Public Service
Announcement
A public service announcement (PSA) can be an effective
way to inform and influence people. The intent of some
PSAs isas basic as announcing the time and location of an
event, while others are designed to educateor persuade. In
this project, your task will be to create anaudio PSA intended
to persuade the public to take action on an outbreak of a skin disorder.
