CTE Health Science Endocrine System Disorders / Ethics Science Behind Sideshows
By Scrub Squad
Explore the fascinating intersection of science and history in this engaging lesson that combines the study of the endocrine system with ethical considerations of circus side shows. Students will learn about various endocrine disorders (such as gigantism, dwarfism, and hirsutism) and their physiological causes, using historical figures like Robert Wadlow (the "Alton Giant") and Annie Jones (the "Bearded Lady") as case studies. Through research, group presentations, and guided discussions, students will not only gain a deeper understanding of hormone imbalances and their impact on the body but also critically examine how these individuals were treated and exploited in the context of 19th and 20th-century circus performances. By the end of the lesson, students will reflect on how understanding these conditions can foster empathy and promote ethical healthcare practices.
Includes:
Endocrine system overview and key glands
Case study handouts of famous historical performers
Group work with research and presentation guidelines
Ethical discussion prompts and reflection questions
Printable worksheets for case studies and ethical reflection
This lesson blends science with critical thinking and history, encouraging students to reflect on both the biological and social aspects of rare conditions. Perfect for introducing students to the complexities of endocrine disorders and the importance of empathy in healthcare.

Kaitlyn.
By Mark Holmes
The project is divided into fourteen sections, including the front pages. Sections include Language/Population, Habitat/Geography, Family Structure, Government, and several others. Each section has a list of criteria and questions that must be answered to complete the section.
I would expect a single student to take about ten weeks, with a weekly goal (perhaps a little faster) of completing one section.
There is a score for each section and teacher info on ways to make it work.
The project contains a cover sheet, a teacher's page, two student pages and a sheet to help students select an appropriate civilization.
There is also a list of civilizations that have an abundance of information available on line.
