Let's work through some words that will describe a concept.

The YES list will back up the concept.

The NO list does not.

YES NO
As the lists appear identify similarities the YES list may describe. Use the NO list to double check your idea.

YES

• AML (acute myeloid leukemia)
• NHL (non-hodgkins lymphoma)
• Testicular Cancer
• Aplastic Anemia

After seeing the YES list make your list of ideas of what the concept could be. Every item in the YES list must agree with your concept.

As I begin to list the NO concepts, cross check your list.
Remove any items that the NO list eliminates.

NO

• Breast Cancer
• Lung Cancer
• Pancreatic Cancer
• Prostate Cancer

Review your concept(s) you have chosen with the teacher.

We will continue to test your concept by reviewing more statements.

Now refine your concept after seeing more examples.
Has your concept changed?

Present your final concept to the teacher

If you chose is that these cancers or diseases can be treated with a Bone Marrow Transplant then you are correct. If you have something similar you are on the right track.

Can you add anymore items to the YES list? Try to add two more.

Over the course of this curriculum we will be learning about Bone Marrow Transplants. The diseases and cancers listed are just some of the few that can be treated with this life saving process.
