In our increasingly globalized world, a single infected person can board a plane and spread a virus across continents. Mark Honigsbaum describes the history of pandemics and how that knowledge can help halt future outbreaks. A quiz, thought provoking question, and links for further study are provided to create a lesson around the 8-minute video. Educators may use the platform to easily "Flip" or create their own lesson for use with their students of any age or level.

This video lesson is on the details of cancer cell growth. How do cancer cells grow? How does chemotherapy fight cancer (and cause negative side effects)? The answers lie in cell division. George Zaidan explains how rapid cell division is cancer壽猻 "strength" -- and also its weakness.

What did you eat yesterday? Last week? Could you eat as much as a hungry caterpillar? Students will learn vocabulary and learn about different agricultural products with this engaging activity. The story will come to life as you read and students construct their own caterpillar.

Acting as if they are biomedical engineers, students design and print 3D prototypes of pressure sensors that measure the pressure of the eyes of people diagnosed with glaucoma. After completing the tasks within the associated lesson, students conduct research on pressure gauges, apply their understanding of radio-frequency identification (RFID) technology and its components, iterate their designs to make improvements, and use 3D software to design and print 3D prototypes. After successful 3D printing, teams present their models to their peers. If a 3D printer is not available, use alternate fabrication materials such as modeling clay, or end the activity once the designs are complete.

Jack.org is a Canadian charity committed to providing mental health supports and resources. The website includes opportunities for guest speakers (both virtual and in-person) and a wide range of resources, including specific Indigenous mental health resources. There are also several resource hubs designed for youth. This website can be used to support curriculums that include mental health topics.

KBI provides a unique and tailored interactive classroom experience that is carefully curated to follow the school curriculum. In particular, our focus is on meeting the learning standards of the grade 5-12 curriculum in science and social studies that relate to:
The immune system, Disease transmission, Immunization, Pandemics, epidemics, and outbreaks; Global inequality issues in health; The role of NGOs; Antibiotic resistance; Evaluating sources …And many other topics!

Click on "How it Works" on the top menu to see the learning modules (and lessons/units available). Critical thinking, diseases, health equity, level of government, global community, immune system, diversity of living things and more.

Select the "Teacher Centre" to find a wealth of lesson plans for all subject areas. E.g., Women's day, colonization, misinformation, critical thinking, evolution etc.

We provide dozens of classroom activities and teacher resources, each of which are paired with an online quiz that students can take on their laptop, tablet, or phone. This two-pronged lesson approach enables teachers to tailor a classroom experience that is supplemented by a fun and interactive experience for the student. Our online quizzes have been developed by health and education professionals, as well as communication experts who have studied the online behaviour of students – as such, they are accurate, informative, but also engaging for the student.

Students work as biomedical engineers to find liquid solutions that can clear away polyvinyl acetate polymer "blood clots" in model arteries (made of clear, flexible tubing). Teams create samples of the "blood clot" polymer with different concentrations to discover the concentration of the model clot and then test a variety of liquids to determine which most effectively breaks down the model blood clot. Students learn the importance of the testing phase in the engineering design process, because they are only given one chance to present the team's solution and apply it to the model blood clot.

Lifehacker is an online resource offering advice on money, health, travel, cooking, entertainment, and anything else related to the modern world. Lifehacker's advice runs the gamut from home repairs to productivity to how DNA tests can affect your exercise routine. It's also a great place to catch up on the latest films, music, and TV shows.

Whatever your fancy, students are sure to find something enlightening, trendy, or off the beaten path.

Students learn the function of the liver and how biomedical engineers can use liver regeneration to help people. Students test the effects of toxic chemicals on a beef liver by adding hydrogen peroxide to various liver and salt solutions. They observe, record and graph their results.

If your heart is healthy it will be able to work for a very long time.
It is up to you to keep your heart healthy.
Your heart will like it if you:
1. Exercise every day
You need to exercise your heart by making it work harder for at least 30
minutes a day. Our topics on 'Fitness' and 'Exercise' will show you how
2. Eat a healthy diet
Too much fatty food will block up the arteries with fat and your heart will
have to work harder and harder just to do its regular job of pumping
blood round your body. See our topics in the 'Your food' category to learn
about the foods your body needs and what your heart likes
3. Drink lots of water every day rather than fizzy drinks
4. Make good choices as you grow older. You can choose not to smoke, not
to take illegal drugs and not to drink too much alcohol

Students create large-scale models of microfluidic devices using a process similar to that of the PDMS and plasma bonding that is used in the creation of lab-on-a-chip devices. They use disposable foam plates, plastic bendable straws and gelatin dessert mix. After the molds have hardened overnight, they use plastic syringes to inject their model devices with colored fluid to test various flow rates. From what they learn, students are able to answer the challenge question presented in lesson 1 of this unit by writing individual explanation statements.
