Presentation Transcript

  1. Biosciences Magnet Program A cohort of highly motivated students with a rigorous math, science, and medicine sequence of courses. Through a hands-on and collaborative approach, students will explore prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of disease in order to design innovative solutions for 21st century health challenges. Students will have the opportunity to… · Participate in an internship . · Be mentored by medical school students and other medical professionals specific to a student’s area of interest. · Earn college credit and be taught by college professors. · Compete in scientific competitions at the local, state, and national level.

  2. Biomedical Magnet Course Sequence

  3. Four Biomedical CoursesPrinciples of Biomedical Science (9th), Human Body Systems (10th), Medical Interventions (11th), Biomedical Innovation (12th) • Use of laptop computers to access curriculum, textual information, and produce work products. • Use of Labview software and virtual instruments to collect experimental data (ie. HR, BP, respiration rate, electrical activity, etc.). • Two-week teacher Core Training • at Stevenson University in summer • (3 graduate credits).

  4. Principles of the Biomedical Sciences The Principles of Biomedical Sciences course is divided into eight units designed to introduce students to the study of the human body and human medicine. Unit I: Human Body Systems Unit II: Heart Disease Unit III: Diabetes Unit IV: Sickle Cell Disease Unit V: Hypercholesteremia Unit VI: Infectious Diseases Unit VII: Medical Interventions Unit VIII: Grant Proposal Cohort: Honors Biology and Honors Geometry

  5. Human Body Systems • The Human Body Systems course is divided into six units designed to introduce students to the way that body systems work together to maintain homeostasis and good health. • Unit I: Identity • Unit II: Communication • Unit III: Power • Unit IV: Movement • Unit V: Protection • Unit VI: Homeostasis Cohort: AP Biology and Honors Algebra II

  6. Medical Interventions The Medical Interventions allows students to investigate the variety of interventions involved in prevention, diagnosis and treatment of disease as they follow the lives of a fictitious family. Unit I: How to Fight Infection Unit II: How to Screen What Is In Your Genes Unit III: How To Conquer Cancer Unit IV: How to Prevail When Organs Fail Cohort: Honors Chemistry , Honors Physics, Honors Pre-Calculus

  7. Biomedical Innovation This capstone course challenges students to design innovative solutions for the health challenges in the areas of clinical medicine, physiology, biomedical engineering, and public health. Students work on an independent project with a mentor or advisor from a university, hospital, or industry. Problem #1 ER Problem #2 Physiology Problem #3 Medical Innovation Problem #4 Water Contamination Problem #5 Public Health Problem #6 Molecular Biology Problem #7 Forensic Autopsy Problem #8 Independent Project Cohort: AP Chemistry and AP Calculus

  8. College Courses – 10 credits Montgomery College BI 222 Principles of Genetics (3 credits) BI 230 Molecular Cell Biology(3 credits) Stevenson University BI 113 General Biology (4 credits)

  12. Want to change the world?Explore Engineering Engineers envision, create and build the world around us by applying the principles of math and science to innovate and invent solutions to problems We Engineer Our Futures!

  13. Engineering Magnet Program A cohort of highly motivated students with a rigorous math, science, and engineering sequence of courses. Through the use of the engineering design process, students will create their own inventions or innovations to solve real world problems. Students will have the opportunity to… • Use 3D design software used by companies such as Lockheed Martin and Intel. • Earn college credit and be taught by college professors. • Compete in competitions at the local, state, and national level. • Participate in a variety of clubs including , robotics, Civil Air Patrol, and A.C.E Mentors. We Engineer Our Futures!
