    HBS Course Description (Casteel)

    In Human Body Systems, students will construct a model of the human body with all its systems. They will investigate the various professions and issues that can occur with each body system. They will learn how to measure, identify, and work with various organs, tissues, and body systems while adapting that knowledge to applications like vision tests, training plans, and injury identification. By the end of the year, they will have formed a final paper illustrating a disease and how it affects the various body systems involved.

     

    A secondary goal is to have students create a portfolio of potential careers in the field and to do enough research to volunteer, intern, or further gain experience for a particular field. 

     

    Mr. Q invites you to learn to improve your skills and embark on the journey to become a better you!

    Learning and Growing by Investigating Medical Mysteries

    Working with the same equipment and tools used by lab professionals, PLTW Biomedical Science students are empowered to explore and find solutions to some of today’s most pressing medical challenges. Through scaffolded activities that connect learning to life, students step into the roles of biomedical science professionals and investigate topics including human medicine, physiology, genetics, microbiology, and public health. Students work together in teams to find unique solutions, and in the process, learn in-demand, transferable skills like critical thinking and communication.
