South Carolina Standards:  (List the standards students are expected to master in this course)

 

SC Science and Engineering Practices (SEP)

 

• H.1A.7 Construct and analyze scientific arguments to support claims, explanations, or designs using evidence and valid reasoning from observations, data, or informational texts.
• H.1B.1 Construct devices or design solutions using scientific knowledge to solve specific problems or needs: (1) ask questions to identify problems or needs, (2) ask questions about the criteria and constraints of the device or solutions, (3) generate and communicate ideas for possible devices or solutions, (4) build and test devices or solutions, (5) determine if the devices or solutions solved the problem and refine the design if needed, and (6) communicate the results.
• H.E.1A.1:  Ask questions to generate hypotheses for scientific investigations, (2) refine models, explanations, or designs, or (3) extend the results of investigation to challenge scientific arguments or claims.
• H.E.1A.2:  Develop and use models to understand or represent phenomena, processes, and relationships (2) test devices or solutions, or (3) communicate ideas to others.
• H.E.1A.3:  Plan and conduct controlled scientific investigations to answer questions, test hypotheses, and develop explanations: (1) formulate scientific questions and testable hypotheses based on credible scientific information, (2) identify materials, procedures, and variables, (3) use appropriate laboratory equipment, technology and techniques to collect qualitative and quantitative data, and (4) record and represent data in an appropriate form.
• H.E.1A.4:  Analyze and interpret data from informational texts and data collected from investigations using a range of methods (such as tabulation, graphing, or statistical analysis) to (1) reveal patterns and construct meaning, (2) support or refute hypotheses, explanations, claims, or designs, or (3) evaluate the strength of conclusions.
• H.E.1A.5:  Use mathematical and computational thinking to (1) use and manipulate appropriate metric units, (2) express relationships between variables for models and investigations, and (3) use grade-level appropriate statistics to analyze data.
• H.E.1A.6:  Construct explanations of phenomena using (1) primary or secondary scientific evidence and models, (2) conclusions from scientific investigations, (3) predictions based on observations and measurements, or (4) data communicated in graphs, tables, or diagrams
• H.E.1A.8:  Obtain and evaluate scientific information to (1) answer questions, (2) explain or describe phenomena, (3) develop models, (4) evaluate hypotheses, explanations, claims, or designs or (5) identify and/or fill gaps in knowledge. Communicate using the conventions and expectations of scientific writing or oral presentations by (1) evaluating grade-appropriate primary or secondary scientific literature, or (2) reporting the results of student experimental investigations.
• H.E.1B.1:  Construct devices or design solutions using scientific knowledge to solve specific problems or needs: (1) ask questions to identify problems or needs, (2) ask questions about the criteria and constraints of the device or solutions, (3) generate and communicate ideas for possible devices or solutions, (4) build and test devices or solutions, (5) determine if the devices or solutions solved the problem and refine the design if needed, and (6) communicate the results.

 

SC CATE Standards for Health Science 3:

 

• 1. Academic Foundations: Healthcare professionals will know the academic subject matter required for proficiency within their area. They will use this knowledge as needed in their role.

1. Classify the basic structural and functional organization of the human body (tissue, organ, and system).
2. Recognize body planes, directional terms, quadrants, and cavities.
3. Analyze the basic structure and function of the human body.
4. Research common diseases and disorders of each body system (prevention, pathology, diagnosis, and treatment).
5. Research emerging diseases and disorders.
6. Complete Labs – dissections – clay models – class presentations as assigned.

 

• 2. Communications: Healthcare professionals will know the various methods of giving and obtaining information. They will communicate effectively, both orally and in writing.

1. Use medical terminology to communicate information, oral and written.
2. Apply active speaking and listening skills.

 

• 7. Safety Practices: Healthcare professionals will understand the existing and potential hazards to clients, co-workers, and self. They will prevent injury or illness through safe work practices and follow health and safety policies and procedures.

1. Demonstrate principles of infection control using standard precautions in relation to the disease process and prevention.
2. Comply with safety signs, symbols and labels.
