BIOL 100PL Principles of Biomedical Sciences and Human Body Systems

This course is a combination of two Project Lead The Way courses. This course will satisfy the lab science general education requirement.

Principles of the Biomedical Sciences: Students explore biology concepts through the study of human diseases. Students determine the factors that led to the death of a fictional person, and investigate lifestyle choices and medical treatments that might have prolonged the person’s life. The activities and projects introduce students to human physiology, medicine and research processes.

Human Body Systems: Students examine the interactions of human body systems as they explore identity, power, movement, protection and homeostasis. Students design experiments, investigate the structures and functions of the human body, and use data acquisition software to monitor body functions such as muscle movement, reflex and voluntary action and respiration.
