Inside Out: Journey through the Human Body (Session 1 & 2)

Summer Transitional Enrichment Program (STEP)

Did you know that in 30 minutes, the human body gives off enough heat to bring a gallon of water to a boil? Or that The human heart pumps about 70 milliliters of blood per beat, and it beats about 100,000 times per day. The human body is a complex machine made up of important systems that keep us active and alive. If you were interested in this fact or in the intricacies of the human body, then this is the class might be for you. Students in this course will take a closer look into the main systems of the human body and their important functions and how they all work together to maintain homeostasis/life. Students will perform animal dissections, simulate active scenarios of systems, design body engineering models, participate in hands on labs, and work on their final project to construct a fully body system. In addition to body system overview, students will also be introduced to nutrition, exercise physiology and immunology. This class is a holistic approach to understanding the body and gain of elevated understanding of systems and anatomy.

Please note that we will be offering the same Human Body course in each session of STEP. Each course is exactly the same so they can be taken individually but NOT in combination with each other as the two courses will cover the same material, concepts, and projects. Students considering participating in both sessions of STEP should take just one Human Body course.
