Lesson on application of engineering techniques to understand biological systems - activities include analyzing DNA profiles of bank robbery suspects and 3D building of DNA
Students extend knowledge of skeletal system to biomedical engineering design, specifically the concept of artificial limbs. Associated activities include designing, creating, and testing lower leg prosthetic limbs and designing splints/casts.
Students in schools from all over the world can enter scientific data. This is a great way to truly integrate technology with education - students can do "real science" and collaborate with their "colleagues" from other countries. Great for biology, earth science, environmental science, etc.
