High School
The rigorous and relevant four-course PLTW Biomedical Science
sequence allows students to investigate the roles of biomedical
professionals as they study the concepts of human medicine, physiology,
genetics, microbiology, and public health. Students engage in activities
like investigating the death of a fictional person to learn content in
the context of real-world cases. They examine the structures and
interactions of human body systems and explore the prevention,
diagnosis, and treatment of disease, all while working collaboratively
to understand and design solutions to the most pressing health
challenges of today and the future.
Each course in the Biomedical Science sequence builds on the skills and knowledge students gain in the preceding courses. Schools offer the three PLTW Biomedical Science foundation courses within a period of three academic years from the start of implementation and may also offer the capstone course. |
