Activity 5: TaskStream Performance Task

Now that you’ve completed module 5, you are ready to complete ANT1 Task 703.1.3-04 in TaskStream. Go to www.Taskstream.com and start on Task 703.1.3-04. 

  • Read the instructions for the task.
  • Go to www.coursecompass.com and log in to Essentials of Human Anatomy and Physiology CoureCompass.  Complete the Cardio Lab and design your own experiment to investigate a disorder that affects the cardiovascular system and write a lab report.
  • When you have completed your report, compare it to the rubric and submit it to TaskStream.

 

TASK CHECKLIST – Part A (Project Design – completed before performing the experiment)

1.       Did you articulate your responses in a clear, accurate and understandable manner?

2.       Did you use accurate grammar, punctuation and spelling in your written work?

3.       Did you provide a precise summary of how viscosity and blood vessel radius affect blood pressure?

4.       Did you provide a precise summary of how heart rate and stroke volume affect cardiac output and blood pressure?

5.       Did you identify one case available in “Cardio Lab” to use for the experiment?

6.       Did you write a problem statement that describes the experiment?

7.       Did you write a hypothesis that anticipates the outcome of the experiment?

8.       Did you provide a credible and well-supported explanation of how the hypothesis was reached?

  

TASK CHECKLIST – Part B (Scientific Report – completed after performing the experiment)

1.       Did you provide a precise description of the steps of the experiment?

2.       Did you provide a credible and well-supported explanation of the results of the experiment?

3.       Did you provide more than two graphs showing blood pressure measurements for the healthy person and the person with a cardiovascular disease?

4.       Did you provide a precise summary of the results of the experiment?

5.       Did you provide a credible and well-supported explanation of how the results compare with the hypothesis to determine whether the data confirms or refutes the hypothesis?

6.       Did you provide a credible and well-supported explanation of how the cardiovascular disorder chosen for the experiment interferes with the efficiency of the circulatory system?

7.       Did you provide in-text citations and references in APA format that contain no readily detectable errors?
