Learning Biomedical Science by Doing!
Our PLTW Biomedical Science students have been taking their learning beyond the textbook and into hands-on investigations!
Human Body Systems – Bone Modeling
Students built 3D paper bone models using Origami Organelles, exploring the internal structure of bones, tissue layers, and blood vessel networks. This creative activity helped students visualize how the human body is organized at the microscopic level.
DNA Modeling Activity
Students used molecular model kits to build and explore the structure of DNA. By modeling nucleotides and base pairing, they developed a visual understanding of the DNA double helix and how genetic information is organized.
DNA Extraction Investigation
Our PLTW Principles of Biomedical Science students also participated in a hands-on DNA investigation, using laboratory techniques to extract and examine DNA. The activity gave students an opportunity to connect classroom concepts to real-world biomedical science and biotechnology.
These experiences allow our students to learn, build, investigate, and make connections to the real world, one experiment at a time!
A special thank you to Mr. Ozkan for his dedication, creativity, and hard work in providing our students with meaningful hands-on learning experiences.
