Students analyze scientific evidence from a medical animation and design a nutrient-dense 1-day meal plan targeted at maximizing brain health.
A comprehensive lesson exploring the bidirectional communication between the gut and the brain, focusing on how diet influences neurotransmitter production and mood. Students will visualize the biological 'highway' and identify key food groups that optimize brain function.
A health lesson for high schoolers that challenges traditional body image messages by introducing "body image resilience" and the "instrument vs. ornament" framework. Students explore self-objectification through a TED talk and practical activities.
A lesson exploring the biological mechanism of tolerance and how the brain adapts to maintain equilibrium (homeostasis) using the 'Seesaw Model'. Students will observe how substances disrupt brain chemistry and how the brain's attempt to restore balance leads to tolerance and withdrawal.
A high school health lesson focusing on the biological shift in brain control during addiction, using the 'Brain Train' metaphor to distinguish between the cortex and subcortex. Students engage with the Stroop Test to experience cognitive conflict before mapping how drugs hijack neural pathways.
