Learning Goals
Students will be able to formulate investigable questions about how unequal access to prenatal care, vaccines, and universal healthcare affects health outcomes across generations.
Students will be able to analyze public health datasets to identify patterns between categorical health access variables and numerical health outcome variables.
Students will be able to interpret biology evidence on epigenetics, DNA, inheritance, and homeostasis to explain how environment and care influence health.
Students will be able to investigate historical accounts of unequal care and corroborate perspectives using primary and secondary sources.
Students will be able to design and justify a method for comparing scenario-based futures, including no prenatal care, no vaccines, and universal healthcare.
Students will be able to evaluate conflicting or anomalous evidence and state limitations when drawing conclusions about health inequities.
Students will be able to collaborate with peers and community partners to synthesize evidence into an evidence-based narrative or report about health inequities.
Products
Individual Investigation Notebook on Health Inequities and Future Scenarios
Students compile a research notebook that documents their question, method, source notes, dataset analysis, biology connections, and personal conclusions. The notebook must show how each student's evidence supports or challenges a scenario about prenatal care, vaccines, or universal healthcare.
Team Evidence-Based Mini-Film and Investigation Report on Alternate Health Futures
Teams produce a formal report and short mini-film that combine each member's evidence into a shared claim about how access to care shapes lives across generations. The product must include visualized data, historical context, epigenetics or biology explanation, limitations, conflicting findings, and a justified response to the essential question.
