A fun, introductory lesson on the human skeletal system focusing on four major structures: the skull, rib cage, spine, and femur. Students will learn the functions of these bones through a museum-themed presentation and a labeling activity.

A quick 30-minute introduction to the skeletal system, focusing on its main functions and the names of key bones in the human body. Students will explore how their 'internal frame' helps them move and stay protected.

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.

A 5th-grade science lesson exploring the biological impact of nature on the human brain, featuring a hands-on outdoor experiment to measure stress levels.

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.

An undergraduate-level neuroscience lesson exploring the physiological and cellular impacts of chronic stress on the brain, specifically focusing on the HPA axis, cortisol-induced neurotoxicity, and the role of BDNF in neuroplasticity.

A lesson exploring the diverse animals that call trees their home, focusing on identification and the specific parts of the tree they inhabit.

Students explore the ecosystem beneath the forest floor, focusing on animals that create tunnels and live among tree roots.

A comprehensive 2-hour training focused on identifying emerging trends in prevention science and integrating them into evidence-based strategies to maximize community impact.

A lesson exploring the characteristics, classification, and social behavior of prehistoric Sabertooth cats.

A 30-minute independent writing lesson for 2nd graders to explore the role of pollinators in our ecosystem, featuring a word bank and descriptive writing prompts.
