diagnosed with hepatitis at age eleven. The individual was very carful, always using safe
sex methods, and avoiding anything that could lead to contracting the virus. After going
to several doctors this individual has now contained the HBV. His name is Will and he
can do everything a normal unaffected person can do (hike, run, lift weights). His liver
has been very affected by the HBV, but he has hope if he keeps active that he many be
able to keep his own liver for the rest of his life.

like Africa where the epidemic is in full high effect it is contacted by the mother during
the birthing process.
Blood or blood products are a big factor when it comes to the early epidemic of
hepatitis B. Prior to the 1970s blood and blood products in blood banks were not tested
for virus such as HBV simply because they didnt know such things existed. This caused
the infection of many individuals that received the contaminated blood through
transfusions. Since then there have been departments like the FDA that now intensely
screen the blood for HBV. Another way that it was transferred was through unsterilized
tattoo, piercing, and even acupuncture needles. Even people in healthcare that may
accidently poke themselves with an infected needle are at rick for contacting this disease.
Children from the time they are born are inquisitive. They wonder why things are
they way they are, how weather happens, and many other things. They want to know why
things work they way they do. They are constantly experimenting. Kids love getting away
from school on field trips, or doing something hands on like dissecting a frog. Teachers
utilize this to help them teach in a way the students enjoy. Paper material and worksheets
do not help kids learn what are supposed to, much less enjoy it.
The concern is that students dont know the science material, or are ill prepared to
move on in science. National test that are taken nation wide reflect this. These test are
given to asses he nations youths knowledge of science, and it needs to improve. The test
given is called the TIMSS test, and it also tests for math. This test is now given every
four years because the nation is so concerned with the youths low test scores. The NAEP
takes care of these results and puts them all together.
Around the 1960s elementary science teachers started using hands on approaches
that help student discover on their own, the solution to the experiment. In a short amount
of time teachers realized this method was better than the previous method. This method
gets the child more interested in the experiment, and encourages the child to learn. Even
though, the new method was better hands on experiments could not be used for
everything, so now teachers had a new hurdle to cross. They decided to implement both
the old method of lecture and worksheet learning to come up with a new way of learning.
One of the things they used is the 5Es: Engagement, exploration, explanation,
elaboration, and evaluation. These together break down experiments so the students get
the full learning experience.
