Waukee APEX Students Create Content for Peers in the Student Personalized Learning System

Today we have 2 groups of student bloggers from Waukee High School's Aspiring Professional Experiences Program (APEX). The first group contains Regan Doud, Nick Glidden and Morgan Vaudt. We are from the Exploration of Health Science and Medicine course and have created a personalized learning module of the Digestive System. Through this module you will learn:

• What is the purpose of the digestive system
• What makes up the digestive system
• How food goes through the digestive system
• What the roles are of each organ

This Module is mainly for High School Students as it goes further in depth with the Digestive System.

The second group consists of Katelyn Felt, Ava Almajidi and Kaelyn Brooks (no picture available). We are also from the Exploration of Health Science and Medicine course at Waukee APEX and have created a personalized learning module titled "The Development of a Child's Brain ". Through this module you will learn

• To recognize different parts of the human brain and their functions
• Why infants learn faster than adults
• What and infant's brain looks like at birth and the states it goes through in the first five years
• The causes and effects of abnormalities in a child's brain

This Module is mainly for High School Students as it goes further in depth with the development of a child's brain. We hope you find these modules helpful and can learn something from this.
