Principles of Biomedical Science is a brand new class in the Project Lead The Way (PLTW) department. The addition has a hands-on learning focused environment with a biology foundation. Students also have the opportunity to gain college credits for this class.
Mrs. Shriver, who is new to the district, started the year off with a forensics unit. Students were guided through labs to solve the murder of Anna Garcia. After investigating the crime scene, students used microscopes to examine each of the suspect’s hair strands. Other labs to continue the search for the killer consisted of heart rate and respiration, blood sampling, DNA profiling, gel electrophoresis, and micro-pipetting.
