Isotopes in Cancer treatment

Students will work in groups of 2-3 students. Working as a group, students will pick a topic based on course
outcomes (COs), research that topic for its connection to nursing/health care. Students may pick a topic from
the suggested topics list or instructors may choose to assign specific topics to students. Additionally, students
may choose a different topic that is relevant to the COs as long as the faculty approves it. Students must get
approval for their chosen topic and format from the instructor. Students will present or submit their projects
using the format specified by the instructor. Each student must contribute meaningfully to the project and be
part of project presentation. Course outcomes: 1. Apply the scientific method to propose a hypothesis and set
up an experiment including positive and negative controls and appropriate units of measurement. 2. Predict the
numbers of protons, neutrons, and electrons given the atomic symbol or limited information for a specific
isotope of an element and relate them to atomic mass and charge. 3. Determine chemical names and/or
chemical formula for diatomic or simple polyatomic compounds and draw a Lewis structure, construct a
molecular geometry and determine the polarity for a covalent compound. 4. Balance chemical equations,
calculate the molar mass of all compounds in the reaction and demonstrate how mole ratios play a role in
stoichiometry. 5. Predict how a change in one or more of the parameters such as pressure, volume or
temperature. 6. calculate the concentration and volume of a solution given solute and solvent parameters. 7.
Predict the properties of and identify reduction and oxidation agents as well as acids and bases by analysis of
chemical formulas, chemical reactions, and solution pH values. 8. Differentiate the common classes of organic
functional groups and identify the appropriate common or IUPAC names, applications, and chemical structure
of simple organic compounds. 9. Differentiate between the types of radio-active decay at the subatomic level
and provide real-world applications, sources, and risk. 10. Contrast the synthesis, composition, structure and
functions of major biological macromolecules and illustrate the process of flow of genetic information.
