Level#1: Understanding the causes of diseases is the first step in preventing them. Diseases can be separated into two groups. These groups are communicable and non-communicable diseases. A communicable disease is one that can be passed form one person to another. Communicable diseases are sometimes called contagious diseases. The common cold, influenza or " flu" and strep throat are communicable diseases. AIDS is an example of a more serious communicable disease.
1. What are communicable diseases sometimes called?
2. What are examples of communicable diseases?
3. What is an example of a serious communicable disease?
Level#2: Understanding the causes of diseases is the first step in preventing them. Diseases can be separated into two groups. These groups are communicable and non-communicable diseases.

The common cold, influenza or " flu" and strep throat are communicable diseases. AIDS is an example of a more serious communicable disease. A non-communicable disease is one that is not contagious. Cancer, high blood pressure, and Lyme disease are non-communicable diseases. These diseases do not spread from one person to another. There are risk factors that can make people more likely to get the disease. These risk factors include smoking, not eating healthy foods, and not wearing insect repellent.

The bubonic plague killed 25 million people in Europe between 1347 and 1400. No one knew what caused the plague or how to stop it. The plague was called an epidemic because it infected so many people. An epidemic is a widespread occurrence of a certain disease. Epidemics still occur today. Many people consider AIDS to be an epidemic. Once started, epidemics are difficult to control.
1. Explain what a non-communicable disease is, give several examples, and list the risk factors related to these diseases.
2. Explain why the plague was called an epidemic, how many people did it kill, and where did it happen.
3. Explain what an epidemic is and give an example of a recent epidemic.

Level#1: Alexander Fleming was another important scientist. In 1928, he was trying to grow some dangerous bacteria in a small dish. The bacteria were the kind that caused blood poisoning. One day, Fleming noticed a green mold growing in the dish. it look something like bread mold. Fleming look at the mold through a microscope. he saw that a yellow fluid was coming out of the mold. It was killing the bacteria. He called it penicillin. It was the first antibiotic.

Level#1: In hospital rooms of the 1800s, many people died from infections that started in uncovered, or open, wounds. A Scottish doctor named Joseph Lister guessed that germs might be causing these infections. He look for and found a good "germ killer." It was carbolic acid. Lister began to cover open wounds with bandages soaked in weak carbolic acid. Lister also washed his instruments and hands with carbolic acid. He even tried spraying his operating room with carbolic acid.

2. What did the Scottish doctor Joseph Lister do?

Lister began to cover open wounds with bandages soaked in weak carbolic acid. Lister also washed his instruments and hands with carbolic acid. He even tried spraying his operating room with carbolic acid. The results were great. The number of infections went down. Many patients stayed alive who would have died before. Lister's carbolic acid was the first antiseptic, or germ killer, that worked. Soon, doctors learned that steam could kill germs, too. Today, medical instruments and bandages are sterilized by putting them in hot steam. Doctors wear sterilized gloves, clothes, and masks.

If you are a male, you have a one in six chance of getting prostate cancer. Doctors find almost 280,000 new cases of reproductive cancer each year. Reproductive cancers affect men and women. Many cancers can be treated if caught early. People who smoke cigarettes or people who are obese are much more likely to develop cancers of all types including reproductive cancers.

The biggest risk factor for cervical cancer is a virus known as HPV. The virus passes between partners during unprotected sex. Many types of cancers are easier to treat if they are found early. Mammograms are tests that detect breast cancer. The Pap test detects cancer cells in the cervix. Boys and men should check their testicles monthly fro signs of cancer. Girls and women should do monthly breast exams to check for cancer. Tell your doctor about any lumps and discuss your risk factors and ways to reduce them.

It may be caused by a physical problem with either the male or female in a relationship. Many things can cause a person to be infertile. Men sometimes have a low sperm count. In women, diseases or infections can cause scar tissue in the Fallopian tubes. In such cases, the sperm cannot get to the egg. Surgery can sometimes unblock the tubes. But, many women with this problem are infertile.

Level#1:
Pregnancy usually lasts about nine months. Pregnancy is often divided into three stages, or trimester. During each trimester, the embryo will grow in length and in weight. It will develop organs that it will need to survive outside of its mother's uterus. After about eight weeks, the embryo is called a fetus. The fetus grows in a pouch-like structure, called the amniotic sac.

2. What are the three stages that pregnancy is divided into?

Pregnancy usually lasts about nine months. Pregnancy is often divided into three stages, or trimester. During each trimester, the embryo will grow in length and in weight. It will develop organs that it will need to survive outside of its mother's uterus. After about eight weeks, the embryo is called a fetus. The fetus grows in a pouch-like structure, called the amniotic sac. Shortly before birth, the amniotic sac usually breaks. Strong muscle movements in the mother's uterus, or contractions, force the baby out of the mother's body. Contractions are also known as labor pains. The baby leaves its mother's body through the vagina.

Shortly after birth the mother's breasts begin to produce milk. the result is from the effects of hormones from the pregnancy.

Pregnancy usually lasts about nine months. Pregnancy is often divided into three stages, or trimester. During each trimester, the embryo will grow in length and in weight. It will develop organs that it will need to survive outside of its mother's uterus. After about eight weeks, the embryo is called a fetus. The fetus grows in a pouch-like structure, called the amniotic sac. Shortly before birth, the amniotic sac usually breaks. Strong muscle movements in the mother's uterus, or contractions, force the baby out of the mother's body. Contractions are also known as labor pains. The baby leaves its mother's body through the vagina.

The baby leaves its mother's body through the vagina. After the baby is born, the placenta is also pushed out of the mother's body. Shortly after birth the mother's breasts begin to produce milk. the result is from the effects of hormones from the pregnancy.
1. Explain how long pregnancy usually lasts, and what is happening to the embryo during each trimester.
2. Explain what the fetus grow in during its development and what happens shortly before birth.
3. Explain what contractions are and what they are also known as.
