  • Camp BIOmed

    The Northwest Association for Biomedical Research (NWABR) hosts Camp BIOmed, a summer camp for high school students, offers a variety of programs designed to help future professionals understand burgeoning biological fields. With an emphasis on hands-on lessons and experiments, students are treated to a comprehensive understanding of how biomedical research is conducted and exposed to challenges faced by scientists every day.

    • SAMPLE LESSON: USING POST-IT® NOTES AND FLAGS TO MAP ANATOMY SYSTEMS

      Simplifying things is often a surefire way to understand intricate systems — see for yourself as we “peel” back the various components of an animal cell:

    • 1

      Using a Post-it® Super Sticky Note, sketch the surface layer of the cell you’re researching. Give this Post-it® Super Sticky Note a clear title for easy reference and any additional notes that may be useful.

      Take another Post-it® Note and go “one layer deeper” with your organism. Sketch the essential structures and label them with Post-it® Flags for easy reference.

      Continue using Post-it® Super Sticky Notes and Post-it® Flags as you continue to go one level “deeper” within the cell features and structures. Consider using different coloured Post-it® Super Sticky Notes if diagramming specific structures or processes.
