Health Science Field: Research areas of the health sciences field. Collect, graph, and analyze personal health or forensic-related information. Write a brief explanation that categorizes the data collected and then describes the significance of the data. For example, students may collect personal health-related information, such as heart rate (resting, vs. standing vs. active), their BMI, flexibility, or their lung capacity, and compare these against government recommendations. Alternatively, students may collect and analyze forensic information, such as hair or fingerprint samples. Students may then analyze and classify the samples. In either of these examples, the class or individuals’ data should be graphed using bar or box-and-whisker graphs.
