In this course, students will study the human body from the inside out. Our exploration of anatomy will consist of hands-on projects, including cell models, lung models, DNA extraction, edible chemistry, reaction time, and microscope investigations. Students will have the opportunity to get up close and personal with the inner workings of the body as they dissect bones, muscles, hearts, eyes, and brains (all specimens are fresh and locally inspected). Each student will chronicle his or her body discoveries with the construction of a life-sized body model and a detailed body systems book, which they will present on the last day of class. We will also study some related chemistry, art, mythology (e.g., Achilles’ heel), and history.
