Choose a warmup based upon something from this module you want to review with students before the assessment.

During this investigation, you have acted as medical professionals to diagnose your patients – Tatiana and Calvin – and get to the root cause of their problem. You have figured out what is causing their asthma to give them problems, and you have learned how the respiratory and circulatory systems work together to provide your body with oxygen. Today you are going to share what you’ve learned to show what you know.

Provide the assessment to students and support as necessary.

Use the scoring guide provided to grade the assessment and provide feedback to students.
