CyberBridge Past Projects Castle Park High - Biomedical Pathway
The Castle Park High 11th grade team is fueled by the Science Innovation Academy grant and another mini-grant sponsored by the Regional Allied Health and Science Initiative to design and implement an interdisciplinary curriculum that is driven by science concepts and delivered by cyber-infrastructure. Our team is composed of teachers representing Intermediate Algebra, Multimedia Productions, and Medical Chemistry. Utilizing Cyberbridge as our structural vision, we will be exploring how contaminated coastal waters near San Diego affect human health.
In order to expand this investigation, the students will be working with community outreach organizations to perform water quality testing and communicate their data collection and analysis with their peers and with their community. In addition, the math students will be investigating the prevalence of disease and relate that information to their content standards. And, furthermore, the students will utilize multimedia to communicate their findings through multimedia. The culminating project that students will present at the end of the year-long project will be a video documenting their involvement and findings throughout the year, a scientific poster board that represents their exploration, an interactive map that informs users of contaminants found in local waters and their implications on health, and multiple deliverables throughout the program.
