Throughout the 20th Century, the world has become a healthier place. By examining the public-health issues and diseases doctors faced during the 1900's, learners will compare and contrast life from today vs. life in the 1900's. Their understanding of cures, medicines, and why lifespan has increased by 30 years will develop through an investigation and creation of a web page. Modification: If technology is limited at your site use a paper option.
