Medical Science

Learn about the human body through hands-on labs and activities.

This course is for students who are curious about how the human body works and enjoy exploring real-world medical science. It's for students who like hands-on activities, solving medical mysteries, and thinking like doctors and researchers. With engaging labs and thoughtful discussions, students build confidence as they explore anatomy, physiology, disease, and diagnosis.

Students investigate major body systems from the musculoskeletal and nervous systems to the digestive, cardiovascular, respiratory, and lymphatic systems. They diagnose patient cases, test reflexes, track heart rate, explore optical illusions, dissect a sheep’s eye, examine blood cells under a microscope, practice suturing, and run simulated lab tests for pathogens and drug trials. These activities help them understand how medical professionals use science to identify problems and design effective treatments.

Families receive photos and videos capturing students as they work through labs, model body systems, and solve medical challenges. Students leave the course with stronger scientific skills, a richer understanding of human biology, and excitement about future study in medicine or the health sciences.
