Polio Awareness

Intro

Hi, our names are Tava, Analee, Granite, and Jack. We decided to do Polio awareness for our 80/20 project because not a lot of people know what Polio is, and we feel that we are just so close to eradicating Polio.

Driving Question

Our driving questions are:

How can we as biochemists help eradicate Polio for the future of our youth?

How can we as scientists study the working of Polio on communities and help raise awareness for the places affected by Polio?

How can we as a planet create a safer place to save those who are easily affected by Polio?

Driving Questions

What is 80/20?

what is 80/20 anyways

80% of the time teacher driven

20% of the time student driven

Research

Some of the things we researched were how Polio spreads and works and we found out that Polio spreads through infected water and food. Polio can not spread very fast anymore for polio is only in Nigeria, Pakistan, and Afghanistan. So you have a 0 percent chance fo contracting Polio

Research

The data we gathered

We interviewed all of 4th grade and only 14% of the people we interviewed knew what Polio was. And yes, that includes teachers.

Stats
