APPLICATIONS

  1. Immunization regulations and practices vary, often for social and political reasons. Ask at least two faculty or administrative staff members what immunizations the students at your college must have and why. If you hear, “It’s a law,” ask why.

  2. Observe three infants (whom you do not know) in public places such as a store, playground, or bus. Look closely at body size and motor skills. From that, estimate the age in months, and then ask the caregiver how old the infant is.

  3. Ask three to ten adults whether they were bottle-fed or breast-fed and, if breast-fed, for how long. Any correlation with body size, health?
