Students investigate the chemical architecture of cell membranes in extremophiles. By comparing ester vs. ether bonds and bilayer vs. monolayer structures, they explain how molecular design enables life in boiling geysers.
A series of visual anchor charts designed for reference during laboratory investigations into plant vascular systems, photosynthesis, and transpiration.
A two-block exploration of animal systems, focusing on homeostasis, nutrient absorption, reproduction, and defense mechanisms.
A two-block investigation into plant tissue systems, vascular transport, reproductive adaptations, and environmental responses.
Students analyze the relationship between chemical structure, mode of delivery, and addiction potential using the 'Speed of Delivery' concept. The lesson features a comparative analysis of substances like heroin vs. morphine and vaping vs. nicotine patches to understand the biological 'why' behind addiction.
This lesson connects behavioral symptoms of schizoaffective disorder to neurotransmitter imbalances and explores the pharmacological mechanisms of antipsychotics and mood stabilizers through research and diagramming.
A clinical diagnostic workshop for nursing and pre-med students focused on applying DSM-5 criteria to differentiate schizoaffective disorder from other mood and psychotic disorders. Students analyze patient case studies and use evidence-based criteria to reach accurate diagnoses.
A 6th-8th grade science and health lesson exploring neuroplasticity through a hands-on yarn simulation and a video-based discussion. Students learn how neural pathways strengthen through use and dissolve through neglect.
This lesson explores the dual approach to treating the five major anxiety disorders, focusing on the physiological mechanisms of medications (SSRIs, Benzos, Beta-blockers) and the cognitive-behavioral shifts of psychotherapy. Students will analyze the 'tandem' treatment model to understand why biological and psychological interventions are often used together for optimal patient outcomes.
Students investigate the intersection of neurobiology and external substances, analyzing how drugs and hormones alter neurotransmitter function to change a person's perception of reality.
A comprehensive biology lesson for 9th-10th grade students exploring the biological feedback loops between the endocrine and nervous systems during stress, focusing on the role of corticosteroids, the amygdala, and the prefrontal cortex in memory.
Bilan des acquis à travers une évaluation sommative permettant de vérifier la compréhension de l'énoncé du principe d'inertie et sa mise en œuvre dans des situations variées.
Application du principe d'inertie et de sa réciproque pour prédire ou expliquer le mouvement d'objets du quotidien. Consolidation via des exercices de synthèse.
Utilisation d'un simulateur numérique pour explorer l'effet de forces compensées ou non sur le mouvement d'un système. Introduction de la notion de forces qui se compensent.
Introduction historique au principe d'inertie à travers l'opposition entre Aristote et Galilée/Newton. Les élèves découvrent que le mouvement ne nécessite pas forcément une force pour être maintenu.
This lesson explores the neurological basis of the optimism bias, focusing on the role of the Inferior Frontal Gyrus in belief updating. Students analyze fMRI and TMS data from Tali Sharot's research and simulate a research group to design follow-up experiments while critiquing current neuro-intervention methodologies.
