This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Students

All living things are made of cells. To truly understand life you must understand the structure and function of the cell for it is the basic unit of life. To truly understand the function of the human body, you must understand the structure and organization of cells within its tissues and organs.

Our school is in one of the largest public secondary school districts in the state, and we are one of the largest schools in the district with more than 3,000 students, where many are classified as minority or socioeconomically disadvantaged.

In recent years, the size of our student body has increased dramatically, but the laboratory resources available have not kept up with the increasing size of the school. The students enrolled in my medical biology classes are an energetic group and are eager to learn. They are a diverse group that expressed interest in healthcare related fields, and many hope to pursue careers in healthcare after graduation. The students in these classes learn biology just like their peers, but with a medical emphasis. This class serves as the first course of our medical pathway where students are continually exposed to medically related topics as they progress towards their high school diploma.

My Project

There is an idea in biology that structure relates to function. For my students in medical biology, if they are truly going to begin understand how the human body functions, it is imperative to understand how it is organized, and this begins with the cells that build it. The microscope slides purchased though this project will be used throughout the year as students learn about the different organ systems in the human body. They will be used to emphasize basic cell structure, and how the cellular organization of different organs relates to their function. Students will be expected to learn how to properly use microscopes to make detailed observations of how the cells in the different tissue samples on the slides are organized and relate this organization to the function of the tissue. In addition, the mitosis slides will be used to teach students about the process of cell division so they can, for example, better understand how organisms grow and repair tissues.

These microscope slides will help students gain an appreciation of the complex organization of the human body and the cells that comprise it.

A goal of the course is to help students begin to build a solid foundation for them to grow as they pursue their goals to enter a healthcare profession in the future; these slides will help them to begin building that foundation. Finally, as these are non-consumables, the slides will continue to be used with many more students in the future as well.
