Typhoid Mary

 The kids are presenting their disease slideshows, finishing the pedigree and sex-linked test, and starting diseases.  Here is the post with the links for the slideshow, vocabulary, and questions.  A few of the kids have started on the immunity vocabulary.  BTW the vocabulary and questions constitute the test.  

We did an activity about Typhoid Mary, Mary Mallon.  Here is the slideshow introduction.  Here is the worksheet the kids did about Typhoid Mary.  I am using Typhoid Mary as part of the introduction to diseases and disease transmission.  Here is an article about gall stones and and asymptomatic typhoid carriers.  One kid wanted to see gall stones.  Here is the source for the gall stones photo below.  We had some nice discussions about washing hands.
