A series of visual anchor charts designed for reference during laboratory investigations into plant vascular systems, photosynthesis, and transpiration.

A high-energy, movement-based review activity where students solve 'medical cases' by identifying body systems and their functions. This lesson includes task cards for a classroom scavenger hunt and a structured recording sheet for students.

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.

A lesson exploring the symbiotic relationship between humans and gut bacteria, focusing on the gut-brain connection and the impact of nutrition on mood. Students create metaphors for their microbiome and identify ways to support beneficial bacteria.

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 middle school science lesson exploring neuroplasticity through medical recovery case studies. Students investigate how the brain 'reroutes' neural pathways after injury using adaptation and recovery strategies.

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.

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.

A lesson for 7th-8th grade science focusing on the biological and genetic foundations of autism. Students debunk common myths, analyze brain development through video, and research how the brain interacts with other body systems in co-occurring conditions.

A high-level genetics lesson exploring how environmental factors like maternal care and stress trigger epigenetic modifications that influence gene expression across generations. Students analyze the classic Meaney rat study to understand the molecular mechanisms beyond DNA sequences.

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 high school psychology lesson exploring the physiological impact of chronic stress on brain structures like the amygdala, hippocampus, and prefrontal cortex, featuring a video analysis and case study application.

A high school biology lesson exploring the endocrine system's stress response via the HPA axis, the physiological role of cortisol, and the impact of chronic stress on brain structure and homeostasis. Students analyze feedback loops and the brain's neuroplasticity through video analysis and diagramming.

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 comprehensive lesson exploring the evolution of hunting from ancient survival to modern conservation, including economic impacts and ethical debates surrounding biodiversity.

Explore how plants and other organisms capture solar energy to build life-sustaining sugars while comparing the process to cellular respiration.

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