Reports, Projects, and the Test

Hello Health students!

Wow, has it been an interesting couple of weeks! We have covered bits of information that we will now be putting together for our exam this week -- check out the review for more details.

This week, we will be seeing a new report and project outlined. The Drug Report will consist of researching a specific chemical drug and it's impact on the human body (specifically, the brain). The STD Project will see you creating an informative brochure "selling" a specific STD to a specific population of people. We will cover more details about these assignments later this week.

For now, be sure to review the test material -- the exam is scheduled for your next class period.

Good luck!
