Science Homework Help

I’m working on a science discussion question and need an explanation and answer to help me learn.

Directions: After reading chapter 7 “The Cardiovascular System” and watching the video on the cardiovascular system answer the following question(s) below: The minimum word count to the initial discussion board question(s) should be a total of 200 words or more (excluding references and reinstatement of the discussion board questions).

Discussion #1 Activity:

1. OK, it takes years of school and decades of experience to become the surgeon general of the United States. Just take a look at this job description: “America’s chief health educator, giving Americans the best scientific information available on how to improve their health and reduce the risk of illness and injury.” The surgeon general is the national leader in a field called public health. Those little messages on cigarette packs are just the beginning! To get a better idea of what the surgeon general does, take a look at the http://www.surgeongeneral.gov/ (Links to an external site.) website. Now pretend that you’re the surgeon general for a day. You want to encourage Middle and high school students to improve their cardiovascular health by eating better and exercising more.

– Write “A Letter Form You As the Pretend Surgeon General” addressed to all students in your school. Be sure to include statistics that you think will make students stop and think and make positive changes.

NOTE: Your letter should be addressed to the students (Middle or High School students) encouraging a healthier lifestyle by improving their cardiovascular health. You are the  Pretend Surgeon General for the day.
