Do No Harm
This unit includes an unit overview and 3 subunit overviews with built-in lessons.
Unit description from the source: In this unit, students will learn about the role government plays in setting policy and supporting and regulating various aspects of the healthcare industry, and about the impact these activities have on the lives of ordinary citizens. The unit will focus on three areas in which federal or state governments have influenced biomedical research and healthcare practice: stem cell research (Subunit 1), pharmaceutical advertising (Subunit 2), and vaccination against communicable disease (Subunit 3).

Extending the Enneagon
In Extending the Enneagon, students determine the meaure of an angle formed by extending two sides of an enneagon until they intersect. Elements of this problem are explored in Grade 7, when students “Use facts about supplementary, complementary, vertical, and adjacent angles in a multi- step problem to write and solve simple equations for an unknown angle in a figure.” Combining those concepts with properties of regular polygons is more likely tackled in high school.
