My discovery topic: Steroids and performance enhancing drugs

 Hi Guys

Recently in class for health we were given the chance to research something we actually want to learn about. The task we were required to do was to pick a topic and research about it, turn it into a DLO and post it onto our blog.

Here is what we did:

First we had to pick a topic that we want to learn about. Our group choose to learn about steroid and performance enhancing drugs and the affect it has on athletes that choose to use these drugs. After this we had to pick 5 big questions that would be answered during our presentation. They were out of three difficulty level and we choose the hardest of the three level which was legend.

Once we had our five big questions we got to work on research information about are topic to answer these question so that we have our questions answered for when we put the information into a presentation.

We fill our planing sheet with the information we need and this is where most of the work took place. Here is our planing sheet:  https://docs.google.com/document/d/1g3bzeghYdOrBSbdMvfXLxTE0aMYI1m_b4f_kSSipHJ0/edit?usp=sharing

We put all the information we learnt during the research periods we had and learnt heaps about the topic which is perfect for the next bit of work we had to do which was to actually make the presentation of our work.
Steroids and sports enhancing drugs

I have also added three useful strategies to help cope with this problem of steroids performance enhancing drugs. these strategies are useful for people so that they can get back to a good well-being.

Reflection:

It was challenging when we had to pick our five big questions because I had to take a long think on what questions would be best for us to answer in our research.
I did well on my presentation because we found a way to take the information gathered and to make it easy to understand while still making it so people can learn something from this task.
Next time I would probably find more information to add and make the strategies better/ find different ones.
Overall our group did really well and I enjoyed learning about this topic with my teammate. We both got our fair share of work done and worked together while producing a high level and quality of work. Our work was something that we both thought we did well on and something we both liked to research.

BYE!

  1. Your work is very informative. This health issue is of an international nature and something that impacts many athletes. I really like how you have interwoven the Health key concepts within your presentation.

  2. You and Benjamen chose a very interesting topic for your Discovery task, and you have explored it thoroughly. Some people think the should be a separate competition category for athletes who choose to use drugs to enhance their performance. Do you think that is a good idea?
