Apply PPE and Read An SDSRead a safety sheet, name the hazard, and match PPE to the body part at risk.Identify Variables and ControlsSort what changes, what is measured, what stays the same, and what comparison group is used.Construct and Label A GraphBuild a readable graph with a title, labeled axes, units, and a sensible scale.Compute Descriptive Statistics Mean, RangeSummarize a small data set by computing mean and range and explaining what each tells you.
Unit 1
Document A Scene and Log EvidenceRecord a scene with photos, labels, times, and an evidence log before anything is moved.Distinguish Observation From InferenceSeparate what you directly notice from conclusions you draw from those clues.Maintain Chain Of CustodyKeep evidence trustworthy by recording every label, seal, handoff, time, and receiver.Collect Trace Biometric EvidenceCollect small trace evidence and body-based biometric evidence without contaminating it.Design An Evidence TestDesign a fair evidence test with a sample, positive control, negative control, and clear result rule.Identify Biomolecules From Indicator DataUse indicator color changes to identify carbohydrates, proteins, and lipids in evidence samples.Write A Mini CERWrite a short claim-evidence-reasoning paragraph from a small set of data.Identify Tissues Under MicroscopyUse visible microscope features such as fibers, layers, spaces, and cell shape to identify tissue.Interpret Toxicology EvidenceCompare toxicology results to cutoffs and controls before making an evidence claim.Relate Structure to FunctionExplain how a body structure helps an organ, tissue, or cell do its job.Synthesize Multi Source EvidenceCombine independent evidence sources into one careful claim.Evaluate Reliability LimitationsJudge whether evidence is trustworthy enough and name what limits the claim.Write A Forensic ReportWrite a forensic report that separates evidence, conclusion, and limitations.
Unit 2
Collect and Chart Vital SignsUse patient evidence to collect and chart vital signs without overclaiming.Conduct A Patient HistoryUse patient evidence to conduct a patient history without overclaiming.Apply Privacy Rules HIPAAUse patient evidence to apply privacy rules (hipaa) without overclaiming.Interpret Bloodwork Against Normal RangesUse patient evidence to interpret bloodwork against normal ranges without overclaiming.Identify Risk FactorsUse patient evidence to identify risk factors without overclaiming.Read Monitoring DataUse patient evidence to read monitoring data without overclaiming.Model DNA to ProteinBuild a protein from DNA: copy the template strand into mRNA (T to U), then read codons to name the amino acids.Trace A Mutation to A PhenotypeFollow a single DNA base change through the mRNA codon and amino acid to the trait it causes.Read A Codon ChartLook up mRNA codons on a chart to name the amino acid, the start codon, and the stop codons.Interpret A KaryotypeCount chromosomes in a karyotype to spot a normal set (46), an extra chromosome (trisomy), or a missing one.Read A PedigreeUse a genetics model to read a pedigree with clear limits.Estimate Genetic RiskUse a genetics model to estimate genetic risk with clear limits.Synthesize A Diagnostic WorkupUse patient evidence to synthesize a diagnostic workup without overclaiming.Form A Differential DiagnosisUse patient evidence to form a differential diagnosis without overclaiming.Justify A RecommendationUse patient evidence to justify a recommendation without overclaiming.
Unit 3
Diagram The Chain Of InfectionUse infection evidence to diagram the chain of infection step by step.Apply Aseptic TechniqueUse infection evidence to apply aseptic technique step by step.Explain Immune ResponseUse infection evidence to explain immune response step by step.Build A Line ListUse infection evidence to build a line list step by step.Construct An Epidemic CurveUse infection evidence to construct an epidemic curve step by step.Identify A Causative AgentUse infection evidence to identify a causative agent step by step.Apply A Triage ProtocolApply emergency or public-health rules to apply a triage protocol.Calculate A DoseApply emergency or public-health rules to calculate a dose.Explain Drug MetabolismApply emergency or public-health rules to explain drug metabolism.Design A Surge ResponseApply emergency or public-health rules to design a surge response.Plan Public Health CommunicationApply emergency or public-health rules to plan public-health communication.Apply Usability PrinciplesUse evidence and design criteria to apply usability principles.
Unit 4
Run The Engineering Design ProcessUse evidence and design criteria to run the engineering design process.Write A Test PlanUse evidence and design criteria to write a test plan.Iterate From DataUse evidence and design criteria to iterate from data.Pitch A Data Backed InnovationUse evidence and design criteria to pitch a data-backed innovation.Revise From EvidenceUse evidence and design criteria to revise from evidence.State Limitations and Next StepsJudge whether evidence is trustworthy enough and name what limits the claim.
