Why do some crashes produce only minor injuries? How can a single crash of a car into a wall involve three separate collisions? Award-winning science teacher Griff Jones returns to the Institute's Vehicle Research Center to answer these questions and to examine the laws of nature that determine what happens to the human body in a crash. Jones reviews levels of organization in the body and explains how body cavities house and protect major internal organs. Through creative experiments, he explores how the third collision can cause injuries to organs, demonstrates how shockwaves can damage tissue and describes what happens at the cellular level.

This resource is a project that allows students to explore careers related to the topic of Genetics.  Students will research a career that interests them related to Genetics, create a presentation, then present to the class.

Did you know that people with careers in law enforcement work very closely with people in the medical field every day to collaborate with each other to help determine unknown causes of death.  For example, evidence at a death scene is carefully documented and collected and then sent off to a laboratory for routine analysis at a hospital or the medical examiner's office.  Being human, we all have things in common biologically, but there are differences that make us all unique.  Forensic medical scientists use these differences to help identify potential causes of death in people.  In this mini unit, students will learn about five careers specifically involved in the career domain of forensic medical science.  Specifically, in this 22 day career connected unit, students will learn about a career as a: Forensic Detective, Medical Examiner, Hematologist, Chemist and a Geneticist.  At the end of this unit, students will prepare a collaborative digital presentation that outlines their group’s cause of death using claim, evidence and reasoning as a final team collaborative presentation.

Using oxygen movement through urchins to bridge human and ecological homeostasis units.  Let's students become creative and use their artistic expression to show their knowledge.
