  • weigh and make health-related decisions based on an understanding of the value and limits of scientific knowledge and the scientific method Process: Choose and research a topic related to human biology. Imagine that you are creating a small booklet that will become available at a local health clinic. The booklet should be educational and understandable by the general public. This assignment is to prepare the text and graphics (if applicable) for the booklet in an APA-style paper format. You may select one topic that relates to either homeostatic mechanisms or to a disease that may interest you because of your own health or family history.
