Principles of Biomedical Science (PBS) is the 1st course in the Project Lead the Way Biomedical Pathway. PBS is a project-based learning course that introduces the biomedical sciences through exciting hands-on activities, problems, and projects. Students will analyze the evidence found at a crime scene and help the medical examiner uncover clues left on a body to solve a mystery. Jackson-Reed Biomedical Ambassadors/Biomedical Science (BMS) scholars will question, diagnose, and propose treatment and care for patients in a family medical practice. Track down the source of a mysterious outbreak at a local hospital. Access and stabilize a patient during an emergency and prepare for medical surge and mobile medical care. Collaborate with professionals in other fields to innovate and design solutions to local and global medical problems.

The activities and projects introduce students to human physiology, basic biology, medicine, and research processes and allow students to design experiments to solve problems. Whether seeking a career in medicine or healthcare, or simply looking for the challenge of real-world problems, students in Principles of Biomedical Science will practice how to think creatively and critically to innovate in science and will gain practical experience with experimental design and the design process. Key biological concepts (connection to Honors Biology) covered include maintenance of homeostasis in the body, metabolism, inheritance of traits, and defense against disease.

Description:

In the Human Body Systems (HBS) course, scholars examine the interactions of human body systems as they explore identity, power, movement, protection, and homeostasis.

Medical Interventions provides an in-depth look into bioengineering, infectious diseases, nanotechnology, diagnostic testing, genetics, and biomedical sciences through exciting “hands-on” projects and problems.

In MI, Jackson-Reed Biomedical Ambassadors/Biomedical Science (BMS) scholars will investigate the variety of interventions involved in the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of disease as they follow the lives of a fictitious family. A “How-To” manual for maintaining overall health and homeostasis in the body, the course will explore how to prevent and fight infection, how to screen and evaluate the code in our DNA, how to prevent, diagnose and treat cancer, and how to prevail when the organs of the body begin to fail. Through these scenarios, students will be exposed to the wide range of interventions related to Immunology, Surgery, Genetics, Pharmacology, Medical Devices, and Diagnostics. Each family case scenario will introduce multiple types of interventions and will reinforce concepts learned in the previous two courses, as well as the present new content. Medical Interventions may range from simple diagnostic tests to treatment of complex diseases and disorders. These interventions will be showcased across the generations of the family and will provide a look at the past, present and future of biomedical science. Lifestyle choices and preventive measures are emphasized throughout the course as well as the important role scientific thinking and engineering design play in the development of interventions of the future. This course is designed for 11th grade students.
