Discuss the dietary changes needed to slow development or prevent cancer or heart disease. Find one reputable website related to the disease you picked and describe the dietary recommendations.
In Week 5 you submitted your project topic submission as a short presentation. In Week 7, you will pick up on what you began to complete the project. You already have a title, rationale and background prepared so from here, you will flesh-out the remainder of the project as a hypothetical protocol to experimentally address the topic you chose to explore in your project.
***Keep in mind*** You are NOT actually performing experiments as part of this final project. This is a hypothetical project.
Below is the recommended minimum slide layout for your presentation. For the week 7 Project, Scholarly References must be included both in-text and in a reference element at the end of your presentation. A minimum of three scholarly references are expected for your project. Make sure to properly reference any images or video you use that are not your own. Images, video and enhancements (hypothetical graphs, charts, etc.) are required to present data.
For all images, charts and graphs, a descriptive title and legend must be included as well as appropriate source citations.
***Read On***
Think through what you plan to propose for your project. It must be a reasonable experiment. It must be something that could be performed experimentally. Find and review scholarly articles that are closely related to what you propose as these will be most helpful as you plan out yours.
There is a sample project you can look over to give you an idea of what a hypothetical project should look like. Take some time to look this over to give you an idea of what a basic hypothetical project looks like.
Most of you will likely propose in-vitro types of hypothetical experiments; however, if you decide to propose anything that includes animals, humans or otherwise, be aware of the appropriate ethical guidelines and make sure to address them.

Biology:Include the type of information like hormones, receptors, cells, target organs, feedback, genes, development, etc. Depth is important; give details. Include support for your information, directly addressing the analysis skills you’ve been developing in this course. Students who earn 15 pts typically have 1-2 pages in this section. n your paper, write what your source is in the same paragraph where you provide the information from that source. Do this in every paragraph where you are using a source that has that information. Do this even when you paraphrase. (copy and pasting the website as a source) teacher doesn’t want a bibliography
