Anatomy, Biomechanics and Physiology Revision
A tic-tac-toe project in which budding physiologists choose the activities that appeal most to them, selecting five of the nine boxes with varying tasks related to physiology. There are a few acronyms that are unclear and the spelling is...
Lesson Planet
Biomechanics of Sports
Students examine the body's major organ systems and how they function and influence each other. They examine how the human body moves when involved in sports.
Lesson Planet
Mechanical Engineering: Crash Course Engineering #3
Build a concrete understanding of mechanical engineering. Viewers watch an engaging video that describes mechanical engineering as the "design, construction, operation, and maintenance of mechanical systems." It also highlights some...
Lesson Planet
Biomechanics of Joints
High schoolers examine the range of motion of your knee, wrist and shoulder and observe that these body parts act like different types of mechanical joints.
Lesson Planet
Biomechanics of Joints
Students investigate range of motion in human joints and the mechanical devices they emulate. They construct a human arm model with three joints which emulate the wrist, elbow and shoulder.

Design a Bicycle Helmet
Students are introduced to the biomechanical characteristics of helmets. They incorporate these characteristics into designs for helmets for various applications. They understand that using a bicycle helmet helps to protect the brain and...
Lesson Planet
BioMechanics (The Human Machine)
Students discuss the number of simple machines in the human anatomy. They watch a PowerPoint and video to explore how biomedical engineers must use engineering fundamentals as well as anatomy, physiology, and medicine to modify or...
Lesson Planet
Muscles, Oh My!
Students explore the human muscular system. In this science lesson, students discuss how engineering is related to the field of bio-mechanics and human movement.
