Course Description: Students will investigate the variety of interventions involved in the
prevention, diagnosis and treatment of disease as they follow the lives of a fictitious family. A
“How-To” manual for maintaining overall health and homeostasis in the body, the course will
explore how to prevent and fight infection, how to screen and evaluate the code in our DNA,
how to prevent, diagnose and treat cancer, and how to prevail when the organs of the body
begin to fail. Through these scenarios, students will be exposed to the wide range of
interventions related to Immunology, Surgery, Genetics, Pharmacology, Medical Devices, and
Diagnostics. These interventions will be showcased across the generations of the family and will
provide a look at the past, present and future of biomedical science. Lifestyle choices and
preventive measures are emphasized throughout the course as well as the important role
scientific thinking and engineering design play in the development of interventions of the future.
Lessons and common assessments for this course have been developed collaboratively
using best practice as a guide and Indiana State Standards as a framework. Students
will be expected to complete evaluations at the end of the midterm and the semester
grading periods. The formative midterm tests are designed primarily to inform
instruction, giving the teacher a measuring stick of the student’s understanding of the
essential outcomes of the course content. The semester final exams are summative in
nature and will be worth 20 % of the student’s overall grade.
