Biology Assignment part 1

Cancer Public Service  Announcement Project 

The local chapter of the American Cancer Society has learned that you are taking a Cancer Biology college course and have asked you to help them develop a public service announcement. The goal is to educate the public in your community about the biology of one specific type of cancer and to encourage people to get screened, look for signs themselves, or implement lifestyle changes that will reduce their chance of developing that specific type of cancer.  

In this multi-step assignment, you will throughout the semester create a public service announcement in the form of either a narrated Power Point presentation for a community health fair, a popular science-type article to be published in a local newspaper or magazine, or a scientific brochure to be handed out at local health centers.    

If you choose the narrated presentation format, you must also include a written script of the narration. This can be written before recording the presentation, or you can download an automatically generated transcript after uploading it to YouTube. See more information below.   

This assignment addresses the following course outcomes: 

· Identify properties involved in maintaining homeostasis in order to recognize how certain factors contribute to cancer 

· Recognize the complexity of cancer and assess current approaches for screening, diagnosis, and treatment in order to adopt appropriate lifestyle strategies 

· Apply knowledge of causes, development, and progression of cancer to ask questions and make informed decisions about personal and public health   

 Step 1 – Topic Selection – Due in Week 2

Choose one type of cancer (breast, skin, lung, prostate, pancreatic, ovarian, etc.) 

Write a brief summary (suggested length: 150-300 words) that identifies the type of cancer you have chosen, describes a few statistics about the prevalence and mortality rates of this type of cancer, and your reason for choosing this type of cancer.  

Use 

this site from the Center for Disease Control (CDC)
 to find and describe statistics about the number of cases and number of deaths of your chosen type of cancer, and 

this site from the National Cancer Institute
 to find and describe information about mortality rate. 

Include references to the sources used in 

APA format
.  

Submit to the assignment folder by the due date listed in the syllabus. 

See the syllabus for a complete assignment description with all three steps.
