Which of these is a scientifically valid conclusion to draw from the picture above?

Explore this interactive cancer risk matrix - what do you notice? What do you wonder?

From the same 'interactive cancer risk matrix,' pick two 'convincing increase risk' factors and explain how they might be more common in groups of people who experience systemic barriers to accessing money?

One more from the risk matrix: Find a risk factor that could be tied directly to genetics, and explain how.

Using the two models below and our other work in this class as evidence, write a 'claim-evidence-reasoning' paragraph (or two) answer to this question:

Why are there differences in health outcomes between races?

Lesson 7 Reflection:
Read this article: https://blogs.scientificamerican.com/voices/racism-not-genetics-explains-why-black-americans-are-dying-of-covid-19/

What do you think is the main point the author is trying to make? Or, What is the most important point the author makes?

2. What do you think is the most important sentence in the article in terms of understanding the author’s argument? Why?

3. The author refers to a “racialized view of biology” (line 30). What does the author mean by that? How is that idea connected to the “reinforcing circle of race” diagram?

Journal Prompts: 
WHAT: What were the main ideas about race and health inequities that you took away from this lesson?

SO WHAT: Why do these ideas matter? How does your understanding connect to personal, community, or societal interests?

NOW WHAT: What is the importance of understanding these ideas for the future? How can you use this information moving forward? What new questions do you want to investigate?
