Biomedical Scholars at Gateway have been fully engaged in hands-on projects and challenging investigations in the weeks leading up to Fall Break. Each course level has taken a unique deep dive into real-world applications of science and medicine.
Principles of Biomedical Science scholars have been unraveling the mystery surrounding the death of Anna Garcia. Their work has included taking the “hot seat” to answer tough questions while reviewing polygraph data, conducting microscopic analyses of fingerprints and hair samples, practicing blood typing, and using blood spatter evidence to construct a standard curve.
In Human Body Systems, students sharpened their anatomical terminology with a lively game of Regional and Directional Terms “Simon Says.” They have also been constructing body systems out of clay, slowly bringing their Manikins to life as they piece together organs and structures.
Medical Interventions scholars explored the spread of infectious disease through an outbreak scenario of meningitis on a college campus. To measure the impact of the outbreak, they even tested their own hearing with a Rinne Test, connecting clinical procedures to classroom learning.
Meanwhile, Biomedical Innovations scholars launched into their first capstone project—designing an innovative emergency room. Their concepts targeted solutions for common challenges in today’s ERs, blending creativity with practical problem-solving.
Outside of biomedical coursework, AP Environmental Science scholars turned their focus to the natural world. They investigated biodiversity and gained a deeper understanding of the biogeochemical cycles that keep matter moving through our biosphere.
From forensic analysis to environmental systems, these experiences highlight the depth of learning happening within Gateway’s Biomedical and Science pathways—pushing students to think critically, solve problems, and prepare for futures in science, healthcare, and beyond.
