Tasks
Scientists are investigators. They explore problems and examine the evidence to come up with solutions.
In Diagnose and Treat, you will test your scientific skills by taking on the role of a doctor. Can you work out what is wrong with your patient using the clues provided by their symptoms?
You will:
- work in teams to investigate a set of symptoms and decide on possible causes
- decide which medical tests to perform to test your hypotheses
- diagnose the cause of these symptoms using scientific enquiry techniques
- evaluate the options for treating these symptoms and decide upon the most appropriate and cost effective treatment plan for your patient
- contribute to discussions about the ethical implications of treatment decisions
- present your findings and recommendations.
