This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.
My Project
I teach a PLTW class called Medical Detectives. Them first unit in this class is on Vital Signs. We are able to track blood pressure, pulse and temperature; but, do not have Oximeters to measure blood oxygen levels.
My students learn best when they have a hands-on experience taking their own viral signs as well as their classmates.
The vital signs lab is one of the most popular of the entire semester.
Oximeters add one more vital sign measurement commonly obtained in a doctor's office and; therefore, makes the unit more complete and informative.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
