Based on your research, is there a common reason for the absences? If so, what? If no, why not? What are the possible causes for the illnesses?

Your success at investigating the pattern of unusual student absences has led to your team being put in charge of the entire Health Department investigation. Your boss, the Director, has been working with school principals and parents and has sent you the following e-mail: http://science.education.nih.gov/Supplements/NIH6/inquiry/Activities/activity2/email_a2.htm You should also come up with some new specific, testable questions to ask. Use the text of the http://science.education.nih.gov/Supplements/NIH6/inquiry/Activities/activity2/interview-quotes.htm and the school calendars in the Director’s e-mail to come up with some new hypotheses about how and when the health problems might have arisen. Be sure to compare the calendars with each other as you investigate. Based on your research, is there a common reason for the absences? If so, what? If no, why not? What are the possible causes for the illnesses? How could students have been exposed to a disease-causing organism at the same time? If they were exposed at the same time, when were they most likely to have been exposed? Explain. Come up with six testable, specific questions you could ask that would help further your investigation. Come up with two testable, clear hypotheses about what you think is behind the absences. Be sure to base your hypotheses on the evidence you have obtained. In a short paragraph, explain why the following hypothesis is scientifically a poor one: “These students were absent because there is bad stuff in the stars happening with Mars in Aquarius.”

You will write a research paper about the demographic transition model and global food production and distribution for a growing human population to meet global food security goals. You must use APA format for the paper and documentation.
Include the following:
• Describe the demographic transition model and how it was developed by demographers.
• Describe the 4 phases of demographic transition.
o For each phase, compare crude birth rates (CBR) to crude death rates (CDR), and state whether the population is stable, growing, or declining in each. ·
• According to demographers, what factors lead to a decline of the CDR in phase two and the CBR in phase three of the demographic transition? ·
• Briefly describe 3 living conditions in developed countries that have reached phase four, and contrast them with these same conditions in developing countries that remain in earlier phases.
o Note: When comparing and contrasting, include details for each of the entities being compared and contrasted. For example, if comparing availability of clean water in a developed country, contrast availability of clean water in a developing country.
• Research and describe a program for developing countries that would help improve 1 of the 3 conditions that you compared.
• Food security means that everyone has an adequate amount of nutritious food to lead healthy lives. Research and describe 1 specific program that helps developing countries reach food security goals.
