These tables also summarize how each of these activities engages students in Scientific Practices and provides the opportunity to discuss Crosscutting Concepts. The Teacher Notes for each activity provide additional information concerning alignment with the Next Generation Science Standards.
When it comes to facial hair, women with PCOS-linked hirsutism often have hair in the mustache and beard areas that become heavier and darker. Women with hirsutism can also have masculine hair on the arms and legs, as well as hair on the abdomen, chest, or back, together with extra growth in the pubic area.
Older women with PCOS reported less hot flashes and sweating than non-PCOS women but reported significantly more hirsutism (64%) compared with controls (9%). So it looks as if some sex hormones and menstrual cycles eventually get better for women with PCOS as they age.
