Lesson 1
Why do you think the mucus of CF patients is thicker than the mucus of a healthy person?
Propose one explanation for why/how mucus in the lungs of a person with Cystic Fibrosis is thicker than in a healthy person. Provide support for your answer by using evidence from whatever prior knowledge you have.
Hint: try to get think on a small scale. What is going on in the airways of the lungs that is causing the mucus to be thicker?
I will create a master list of all your ideas and as a class we will provide scientific evidence from out investigations that will confirm or reject these ideas.

Welcome to the Cystic Fibrosis Headquarters!
After every lesson, I will post a question on this CFI blog. You are required to answer the question to the best of your ability.
You should post your answer on your personal blog. Label homework assigments as "homework" and class assignments as "class work."
I will assess your answer on how well you have supported it with logic and evidence.
Note: You will not be graded on whether or not your answer is correct. I want to see the progression of your ideas. I am more interested in seeing that you have made an effort and that you have supported your answer with evidence.
Good Luck!
