This 90-minute weekly year-long course geared toward upper elementary and middle school students treats the human body as a machine governed by physics and chemistry. Bones are lever systems, muscles force generators, and the ear a sound-wave receiver. Among other exercises, students build real force calculations, dissect chicken bones and joints to see levers and tendons in action, run chemistry experiments on bone mineral, and design their own biomechanics project by the year’s end. Always anchored to a hands-on question about how the body actually works, the class covers the full range of core physical science topics.
