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.
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 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.
Students will learn about the vital role of pollinators in our ecosystem through a short reading passage and independent comprehension activities.
A foundational MLL lesson for 1st grade students focused on oral language and visual recognition of animals and their habitats (Forest, Ocean, Desert). The lesson emphasizes Total Physical Response (TPR), visual matching, and basic phonics connections.

This lesson covers the fundamental principles of Shielded Metal Arc Welding (SMAW), including equipment operation, safety protocols, and core welding techniques for beginners.
An outdoor exploration where students become 'Baby Detectives' to find and observe different types of babies in nature, including human, animal, and plant life. Students will learn that all living things start small and require care and specific environments to grow.
A lesson focused on the properties of periodic motion, including frequency, period, and phase relationships in oscillators like pendulums and tuning forks.
A first-grade lesson focused on identifying attributes and comparing/contrasting everyday objects, weather, and characters to build foundational logic and observation skills.
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.
Students explore the neuroscience of panic attacks, mapping the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous system responses. They will identify the roles of the amygdala, prefrontal cortex, adrenaline, and acetylcholine in the body's 'false alarm' stress response.
A 90-minute chemistry lab focused on the precipitation reaction between copper (II) chloride and sodium hydroxide, featuring a complete lab guide and instructional slides.
Students will identify the five sense organs and explain how they help humans perceive and interact with the world around them through reading and assessment.
An introductory lesson for kindergarten students to learn about the basic needs of plants (sun, water, soil) through interactive play.
An introductory lesson for K-2 students focusing on the major bones of the human body and their primary functions through movement and visual labeling.
