Our PLTW curriculum guides students in doing actual medical skills and research. They will extract DNA, learn the techniques of micropipetting, run gel electrophoresis, run and analyze DNA micro-arrays, monitor heart rates, EKG's, reflexes, blood pressure, perform ELISA tests, hearing tests, and so many more skills through different labs. The skills they learn are precursors to securing a job in the medical field.
Lab coats influence student learning! By wearing them, students feel more involved in the lessons and skills they are performing. They radiate confidence and fully engage in developing their knowledge levels when they put on a lab coat and become the "medical professional."
