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.

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.

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.

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.

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 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.

A lesson focused on the formation of sedimentary rocks and how their layers serve as a timeline for life on Earth, specifically focusing on the sequence of formation and fossil aging.

Focuses on reading security logs, understanding time formats (24h vs 12h), and using logic to follow a suspect's movement through keycard data.

Focuses on descriptive language, memory reliability, and the 'mugshot' process. Students learn to describe suspects and identify inconsistencies in witness stories.

A simplified murder mystery investigation. Students use a detective dossier with B1-level text to solve the crime of Professor Thorne. Includes sentence frames for final accusations.

Students explore how fingerprints and DNA help identify people. The lesson uses clear, visual steps to explain identification techniques and Locard's Exchange Principle.

Students learn essential crime-solving vocabulary (alibi, evidence, suspect) and practice categorizing physical vs. testimonial clues using simplified English and visual supports.

An exploration of specialized forensic techniques, focusing on fingerprint classification, DNA profiling basics, and the microscopic analysis of hair and fibers to connect suspects to a scene.

Students master the foundational vocabulary of forensic science, including terms like alibi, chain of custody, and trace evidence, while learning to categorize different types of physical and testimonial evidence.

A 90-minute immersive murder mystery experience where students apply forensic techniques to solve the death of a prominent professor. They will analyze evidence, evaluate witness statements, and build a case based on deductive reasoning.

A lesson exploring the unique life cycle of periodical cicadas and how their emergence patterns help them survive and reproduce.

Students explore the fascinating life cycle of periodical cicadas, focusing on their unique 13 and 17-year schedules and how this behavior helps them survive against predators.

A hands-on science lab using crackers, water, and plastic bags to simulate the digestive process, with differentiated materials for various learner needs.

A lesson introducing students to various ecosystems through vocabulary and visual identification. Students will learn the key characteristics of different biomes including forests, deserts, and oceans.

This lesson covers the fundamental principles of Shielded Metal Arc Welding (SMAW), including equipment operation, safety protocols, and core welding techniques for beginners.
