Science 7 – The Science of Self

Science 7 is an exploration of human body systems. Through hands-on labs and engineering design challenges, we study the human musculoskeletal, respiratory, cardiovascular, digestive, and nervous systems. This course focuses on hands-on science lab skills, including dissection, lab safety, and experimental design as well as design skills like sketching, physical prototyping, precision fabrication, and product testing by utilizing the tools in the R+D Center. Field trips, guest speakers, and design sprints will introduce us to the medical and biotech professions. Ultimately, we aim to gain a deeper understanding of our bodies and minds and test our limitations through physical activity and analysis of the “quantified self.”
