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.

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 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.

This lesson explores the technical differences between Class A and Class B fire alarm circuits, focusing on wiring topology, fault tolerance, and industry standards like NFPA 72. Students will analyze diagrams and compare the reliability and cost-effectiveness of each system configuration.

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.

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

A lesson focused on the properties of periodic motion, including frequency, period, and phase relationships in oscillators like pendulums and tuning forks.

A deep dive into advanced harmonic motion concepts, including differential equations, energy conservation, and system variables for pendulums and springs.

Students explore the neuroscience of neural pruning, simulating how the brain maintains efficient networks and investigating how disruptions in this process contribute to the symptoms of bipolar disorder.

A 5th-grade STEM lesson where students explore the concept of neurodiversity and engineering through the lens of Jack and Jill's creative solution to a water transport problem. Students will design and build their own aqueducts to move water without carrying it, reflecting on how 'thinking outside the box' leads to innovation.
