Bioengineering Design Challenge: Clearing a blocked artery
Following the steps of the design thinking process and acting as bioengineers, students will use everyday materials to design and develop devices and/or approaches to unclog model blood vessels.
Stickleback Evolution
The goal of this laboratory activity is for students to analyze sample specimens from populations of stickleback fish looking at specific characteristics such as spine length and armor plating to interpret the conditions driving evolution.
When Stroke Strikes
Students will use “When Stroke Strikes” to learn about the mechanisms of stroke, and why strokes are a health threat.

Investigating the question: Does size of an organism change based on oxygen levels available in the environment?
Students will analyze modern fossil records of four different species of a group of organisms called foraminifera, which are single celled protists with shells (tests). All of the specimens were collected from the Santa Monica Basin in the Pacific Ocean just off of Santa Monica, California.
